Re: (no subject)

["Terry Bertrand" <tfbsr () hotmail com>]

For example from my pc which is a private IP address (198.162.x.x) I can 
ping www.yahoo.com or from the router which has a routing address I can also 
ping www.yahoo.com...the other thing is that I really do not have an ip 
address for the mail server....makes a difference?
