Hi Rudolfo

I checked, and yes, it was a <number -> name) setting that I was looking at.
(control panel - DNS server - select domain or network) when I looked at
"network." Back to plan one and do them one at a time (if needed.) I really
started the whole thing because one client said that he (and his visitors)
were seeing a warning about my self generated SSL certificate when they
filled on the forms on his site. Since then, his site has changed over to
using FrontPage... and it was only after that change that I tried deleting
the certificate from my browser to see if I got the same warning... and I
didn't, so the whole thing could be a waste of time... but I'm learning more
about the whole thing while doing it!
