So how does this apply?  If I have to ask my system administrator "who is in my  
organization?"  I'm going to get a blank stare.  What defines "organization?"

With the hostname set to:
	stallion.chem.brown.edu
and the IP:  128.148.68.145
at which subnet do I stop looking to find my friendly OmniWeb 0.9.1 competitor?

PS.  I hope your girlfriend didn't see her shadow this morning, or it will be a
