[ILUG] Enabling server to access single IP address out of net mask range

[Patton, Tony]

That is exactly what I am trying to achieve.

As for recompiling the kernel, not possible as I am using Compaq Tru64 Unix.
I know this is not the *correct* newsgroup, but its one of the best i've
come accross.

AND i'm Irish :-)
