Don't worry, I don't want to log in there, none of my files live there, so
nothing that I want to work on can come of it.... My whole purpose in this
was to make sure my LAN was still doing only what I wanted it to do. Once I
figured out that all was well on my end, I was happy. It just struck me as
odd that such an important interface was almost totally naked. That is why I
asked the question in the first place, and why I tried to ask it in a manner
that would not reveal where it is in an open forum.
Thanks again guys, I learned something new today,
Ben
