Ouch, netowrking windows, *runs as fast as he can in the opposite direction*, networking windows isin't an easy thing if you dont have the comps infront of you to try things, fixing problems remotley is a nightmare... and with 95... should I day more.

131277 2003-03-27 06:35:00 I heard that if lightning "just happens" to strike your cable hanging out the window, it could blow up your (not cheap) equipment.

Oh well... since you're in a high-rise building, you should be safe (hopefully).
