It is MUCH easier to edit than come up with something original. I added text to the Integrating with your web browser, but that was mainly based on reading online; I do not yet have this set up at my office. If someone gets a second, just look at it and make sure I didn't say something stupid. I took you at your word and felt free to rewrite a couple of sections and/or expand on them. Hopefully, no one will have their feelings hurt; I just rewrote them in a way that made more sense to me. I think I will have a little time tomorrow (the server is not supposed to be delivered until Thursday, I just found out). I will look at the wireless and DNS at that time.
