I was wondering if someone could answer a question. I recently received a prank message via email and was wondering if there is any way to trace it to the user on the remotes system. I traced it back this far: A particular machine at a college Sent from Netscape 3 in Windows 95 I know that these machines usually don't keep logs as you don't have to log in, but is there ANY way to find out the user? Whoever it was just pulled the old Netscape alter my address trick.. Any help you can provide would be great, thanks. Scott
