[arm-allstar] connect two nodes WITHOUT Allstar server ?

[Don Ritchie]

Thanks Doug, so if I want to connect my nodes to each other,

506090(A) > 506091(B), on the same network ( my home LAN), how do I tell 
A to connect to B?

Then once the (B) node is moved to my son's house, ( or wherever) what 
is that procedure ?

Thanks

Don
