See /etc/networks (analogous to /etc/hosts) Use "route -n" or "netstat -rn" to disable DNS, /etc/hosts, /etc/networks lookups. About your pinging problem, does it actually time out or does it just appear not to do anything? If the latter, try "ping -n" to disable DNS lookups. (Depending on your ping it may be trying to resolve your 192.168 IP addresses before printing the responses.) You could also try running tcpdump on both boxes while pinging to see what's going on. -- Michael Wood | Tel: +27 21 762 0276 | http://www.kingsley.co.za/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Fax: +27 21 761 9930 | Kingsley Technologies
