I was curious about lisa, so I checked out the link. Being a screenshot pig, I of course clicked to look at it. Lo and behold, an image of a browser showing (among other addresses discovered), 10.2.8.3 and 10.5.23.1. Wouldn't this imply that the author was running something similar to Mircea's configuration? Apologies if this is off track, but I thought that the image means that there's some way that the author had addressed the same problem. Maybe his config/his comments would be able to help figure out what to do. - John
