Re: HP 712/60

I have done it with the DHCP server that comes with win2k server.  I could

If you have a win2k server box, let me know and I will tell you what I 
did.

to be.  Caring for each other, being happy with each other, being good
to each other.  That's what we call love.  You'll like that a lot.
