Hi Steven,
It all had to do with configuring the network from Python IDLE,
aliter: It all had to do with Python. I could have done it, the
bypasssing. But I couldn't have learned anything if I hadn't fought
with the problem, of course it was Shashank Singh from this group who
helped me through. Bypassing is always not good, atleast for me and
therefore I came to seek the help of you all.
Thanks Steven in reading and replying to my problem.
