I don't understand this question. But the servers that appear on info
-b are the one on the workstation I issue the command from plus my old
reliable W2K server in the other end of the house.
Not listed are the VPC one on my own workstation and the XP-Pro one on
the other end of the VPN tunnel.
The 3 servers on my end are all getting DHCP addresses from the same
DHCP server (my Internet router) and are on the same subnet therefore.

Netstat on my VPC server shows UDP port 5353 is active, I guess via
cvsnt.
