Bill Jolitz answered, that there is an option in the kernel enabling this code. I tried to do that - added an option GATEWAY in my kernel config file. It was recognized and obviously built into the kernel, but during netstart my kernel now hangs, saying: localhost: bad value (something like that) Should the GATEWAY option work? Or is the code still untested ? --Chris ----------------------------------------------------------------- kuku@acds.physik.rwth-aachen.de *** Error code 1 Stop.
