Anyway, the basic idea is, assuming you're trying to permit transfers to an entire class C (or B or A) subnet, you enter the octets covered by the netmask, followed by ".*". So the 172.16.0.0/16 subnet would be entered as "172.16.*". 192.168.0.0/24 would be entered as "192.168.0.*". (Of course, without the quotes.) Note that this is different from the way these things are entered on Mac OS X, Linux, or Solaris servers. In such cases, arbitrary subnets can be entered as <network number>/<mask length>. Examples: 172.16.0.0/16 192.168.0.0/24 So you can see that they're more flexible, since you can also enter: 192.168.0.144/28 which you can't enter in QuickDNS Server for Mac OS 8/9 except as 14 individual IP addresses. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com We Make DNS Easy!
