Sorry danny I didn't clarrify myself, back in 89 melb uni was handing out ipv4 class c for free. Thats how I
got my two class c's. May lose one since a friend might come back from os and want his one. IPV6 can't be given
for free from some site, last I remeber to be eurpoean. Tried freenet6.net Any clues
