Hi Bob and Alexander,

Yes, I'm actually receiving and sending this mail from 10.0.0.12(the 2nd
server) that I was having problems with. Although, yes I got it to work
by creating more ports in Zoom's Virtual Server confuration but it's not
really the way to go...was just something that worked.

I want to start a new thread and am hoping y'all will input.
Bob, I'm gonna copy/paste  your mini lecture here to the new thread,
because it deals w/exacty what I want to do.

thx both of you for your help

John Rose
