I mean something on a network 192.168.1.*.  You can't connect to that IP 
address from the outside world unless some gateway is involved, and you 
have control over where requests from outside go to.  As an example, 
they could all go to one machine, or some cluster address, but other 
machines on the network aren't visible from outside.  Sure, if you get 
inside the door, then you can go into another room, but that is a common 
problem and has nothing to do with VMS.
