No, first thing I did was make sure that was off.

Time to step through all the router settings, I think. My strategy in a case like this is to start a reply to the thread, listing absolutely everything - it usually doesn't get sent, because the listing process makes me pay attention to something that I would otherwise have overlooked. Anne Ok, got it, for some reason the Linux box was looking at the wrong device as a gateway. I have no clue why, everything I set in the various files that would seem to care had 192.168.1.1 as the gateway, about half the time it seems the Linux box was trying to use 192.168.1.2 as a gateway. There was (now removed) a device on that address. Once removed all works. I am not even going to try and guess why the Linux box was trying to use the wrong device, when removed with no other changes from me, it works. Go figure and remember the Windoze boxes never had an issue. Thank you all for the suggestions and assistance!!! John Warner
