WOW, your first instinct is to attack the person asking a question, because YOU think it's a dumb one, instead of "HELPING", or just not saying something. I got his answer the first time and made the change, it worked, I was a bit confussed by the way it was explaned on the wiki, so I ask a question about that. Sorry I don't know everything aboutthe  Synchronet setup.
