I wish I could help you out with that Tiny crap stuff. I am just not sure what it has left behind, in view of the fact that you have cleaned it out from the usual directories. All I can say is dust off the old 'grep', and start a fine tooth search for any kind of "Tiny" or "firewall" string in any file located in all of the usual directories. BTW what does a "netstat -rn" output look like on your two machines? If you need some assistance with the gateway/router set up, you are welcome to call on me. I have set up this kind of thing before with Samba and name server running on a LAN with W2K. Do let me know what the resolution is to the Tiny (big) headache.... -- J.
