Do you know that you can just use the IP address in a browser? As long as machine 1 has a static IP address, say 192.168.1.10, you can then enter 192.168.1.10 as the URL in any browser to reach it. (The address has to be local or reachable through routing tables.) If you like, can bookmark that address to make it easy to get to. -- Scott
