[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Gentoo VMware Image Question

[Rush]

Dan,
Thank you for your reply.

This is all running on my laptop at the moment.  So, just one machine (XP
Pro) that is member of a Windows Domain.

OH..you mean THERE!

Now I see the eth_ entry (eth2) in my case, and yes..it works like a charm
in my browser!

Thanks!!!
