Thank you , Thank you , Thank you, Bob, That was simple after you explained it to me. I added telsa's eth0 as the gw to boyle and I it worked. I didn't even dawn on me to put tesla as the gateway on boyle. At first I couldn't get online but I could ping. I looked in resolv.conf and there was search so I put the dns #'s in and then I was able to get on google. Very nice. I knew it was in the route comand. Everything fell in place, Boy is it a good feeling when you learn alot and acomplish something. I was dancing a jig.
I liked your story and I'll have to read about another scientist I didn't know of. Well if someone writes a book about SGI you can add your little story.
