erm..that should be right ...224.1.0.0 is the system searching the network for quake servers whatever replies to that the system will look at it to see if it indeed has a quake server: (from my networking notes ..) Class D Address First 4 bits of the first octet is 1110. First octet between 224-239. Used for multicast packets. Many protocols use multicast to reach multiple groups of hosts(e.g. ICMP discovery) Can discover addresses of routers by sending reqeusts to 24.0.0.2. Any local routers will recognize and respond to this request. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
