To authorize the client? Is there a way to disable this? In "AllowedConnectHosts" I just added the line "192.168.0.*". So it should not need to do name lookups? > If the name lookup does not work then there it will timeout after a > while and give up. For the local net (at the time 2 computers) I do not have a DNS. For Internet Winroute caches and forwards DNS. (when disconnecting it clears the whole cache). Internet through Winroute works, so DNS should work, too. > I don't know how DNS name lookups are handled on > Win2k. I think windows calls out to the network and asks "who is out there?"

I do not know, if it work this (^^^) time, or not... should I inspect it further? regards Jan
