Ah. Well, for clarification, the 'user plane' is when they are floating,
and the
'applicatoin plane' is when they are NOT floating, but are stuck down on
the
map. In the application plane, the ipmap application is managing them.

I think he means that there is a "shadow" around the object in the map.
It is possible that he has a network in aother submap that NetView thinks
this should be in.
I see that when objects are cut from one map and pasted into another and
NetView doesn't see how they are connected. I would recommend that you
first put the network objects into the maps. Then when new objects appear
in the IP Internet map, they will have a connection into the map in which
NetView thinks they belong. Cut an paste it into that map, and again, if
there is a sub map in that map to which the object connects, you can cut it
and paste it there. Continue the process until the object is where you
want it to be.
Sorry this is so brief... I hope it helps.
