Thanks Kymmy,
just one more question. When you connect to the network your PC gets a DNS Server IP which it uses to resolve names instead of IP. If it cant find a name does it try another dns server and so and so until it can resolve the name to IP. when you request a url does it have to keep looking for the ip or does the dnsserver /your pc remember what the inital response was?
