Re: Couldn't resolve hostname HOME_NET

My God - How stupid do I feel!

So what is the drink penalty for missing the $ in front of a var?

Thanks Neil

Carlos

        I think your problem is here.

This should read ...

var EXTERNAL_NET !$HOME_NET

... because "HOME_NET" is being used there as a
variable and it therefore requires the dollar
sign ( $ ).
