But, anyway, as it is a panel applet, I think the best thing to do is to launch the panel using the "-display hostname:0.0" option and, then, right-click on the panel to add the applet. I don't think you should launch the applet itself using command line. Another suggestion would be to set your PPP connection on the server and share it using masquerading. Just have a look here if you don't know how to do it: http://www.building-tux.com/software/simple_inet_connection_sharing.html If you do so, the clients will use an ethernet connection to reach the server, and the server will use the PPP connection to reach the Internet. This way, you don't have to activate the PPP connection directly on the clients. But maybe that's not what you want... > Thanks again and bye! Paolo > -- Julien Olivier <julo@xxxxxxxxxx>
