You can certainly do it from Windows XP, over a local network, but you use the phrase "connected ... via a server" so I am not sure what sort of network you are using. In my case, all computers were in a local network, with no server specified, the usual peer to peer set up where users can share documents and printers. If I recall, if the computer which had the server on it was called fred, then you just needed to type in http://fred in the browser on any other computer. This would bring up whatever was in http://localhost on fred. So to make it http://myServer, you would need to rename your machine (Windows Control Panel - System). ...which has nothing to do with php or objects! -- Pete Clark Sunny Andalucia http://hotcosta.com/Andalucia.Spain
