ifconfig -a

net0: flags=4043<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 166.70.62.190 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 166.70.62.255
        inet/perf: recv size: 24576; send size: 24576; full-size frames: 1
        inet/options: rfc1323
        ether 00:d0:b7:20:b0:90
        (alias) inet 166.70.62.46 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 166.70.62.255
        (alias) inet 166.70.62.48 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 166.70.62.255
        (alias) inet 166.70.62.42 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 166.70.62.255
        (alias) inet 166.70.62.4 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 166.70.62.255
        (alias) inet 166.70.62.10 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 166.70.62.255
        (alias) inet 166.70.62.8 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 166.70.62.255

machine1 has an IP address of 166.70.62.190 and interchange works.
machine2/currently a virtual machine has an IP addrees of 166.70.62.4

I have moved all the files from machine2 to machine1 and interchange works
with the catalog that was on machine2 on machine1.  Here is the problem If
I try to run interchange as if it were machine1 it fails.  I would like to
be able to run it as either machine1 or machine2 not just one or the
other.  Does that make things a bit clearer?

Thanks,
