Hi JJ,
I got your message. You know something really weird?? It's funny too!
But I am logged onto a SUN (a new sun) in Rm. 13-326. Maybe the
wires are crossed or something, but this machine is supposed to be
called "block" -- see below:
athena% hostinfo $host
Desired host: block
Official name: block.MIT.EDU
Host address: 18.81.0.149
Host info: SUN/SPARCSTATION-CLASSIC/UNIX
So what's the deal??
i bet when the addr was updated it got done as
18.81.1.149
and not
18.81.0.149
