>> I'm' not a network expert, and others will probably correct me if I am wrong, but I think it is unusual or even plain wrong to have an IP address (inet addr) ending in .0. The last number should be between 1 and 254. Did you set this yourself, or was it allocated by DHCP? << This is correct. With an IP address, a hostid of all zeroes (ending in .0) and a hostid of all ones (ending in .255) are both reserved. A valid IP should end with a number from 1 through 254. It has been my experience that the number 1 is usually seen on DNS servers and routers. - Jamie __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo!
