message: Does anyone know the IP address that Angela Bennett searches for on the software company's network?  It was used for the whois lookup that she conducted during the building evacuation.  I could have sworn I saw .345.200 at the end.  Can anyone confirm this?  -- Tuvok^Talk|Desk|Contribs  18:35, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

message: i'm just watching the film. there are some points i'm realizing:
* Angela works for Cathedral Software, somehow remembers me of the cathedral and the basar from e.s.raymond! Anyone else? (Well i don't know if that was published then yet, it could be a link nevertheless)
* The way the Gatekeeper Software gets adopted by everyone seems like when people and corps started switching from home brew (mostly un*x) systems to well Microsoft Windows platforms.
The ip getting whoised (at the end, in cathedralsoft at fake-Angelas Workstation) is 23.75.345.200 BTW.

replies: text: Ah, finally! Thank you! I could have sworn I saw an invalid IP there. I suppose the directors wanted to make sure they didn't use a real IP. IPs only go up to 255. -- Tuvok^Talk|Desk|Contribs  20:55, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I noticed that as the secretary suicidally fires the gun, the view is panning up to a monument in the park that he chooses to die at. Is there an article for this monument, and is the monument of any significance to some abstraction that's meant to be drawn, like maybe how the secretary is drowning in sorrow/regret? At any rate, if there's an article, I think this article should link to it. --Macks2008 (talk) 18:42, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  What is the statue/monument seen at about 2:25? 

message: The page states that The Net 2.0 is a sequel, whereas The Net (1998) is a spin-off. I don't exactly get why, since the '98 serial follows the same protagonist - Angela - whereas The Net 2.0 is about a completely different character in a different setting. Should it be changed?--92.114.148.141 (talk) 09:19, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

message: Watch "The Net" immediately after "Notorious" to appreciate the many references to the 1943 film. Annathefilmbuff (talk) 18:41, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

If you're proposing we add information to the article to this effect, it would be helpful to know whether any reliable sources have discussed these references. Cheers.

text: Cool, but doing so without an RS would be original research, no matter how blindingly obvious it may be. DonIago (talk) 01:41, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

text: When we discuss comparisons between two films, or films and their novelizations, or what-not, we include reliable sources both to establish that what we're pointing out has been verified by either someone involved with the production of the film or at least a professional critic or such (i.e. we're not just seeing something we want to see), but also that the comparison we're discussing was considered significant enough to merit some discussion in sources. Otherwise, for instance, every article discussing an episode of The Simpsons would end up buried in pop culture references made by editors trying to "catch 'em all", if you will. Hope this is helpful! DonIago (talk) 12:40, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
