That is the way it's set up. And if I forget, it says 'no route to host' which is not the problem I now see. When I try and connect to something other than the server machine it just sits there and hangs. I think it eventualy times out, I typically get tired of waiting for it and ^c... But I'm right in thinking that this *should* work? There's nothing special about setting up the server end is there? A (possibly) related question is: do I need the have routed running? After looking at the man page I wouldn't think so... All the machines here are either local net or through the default router. I should be able to just add a permanent route, yes? And this has nothing to do with PPP? > Ignatios >-- > MS-DOS is the worst text adventure game I have ever played: poor vocabulary, > weak parser and a boring storyline. Cool .sig -matthew
