In this instance, there isn't any difference. A router routes between several subnets. When one of or more of the subnets is over a long haul link it is often called a gateway. A bridge, a device that connects two networks without routing, can also be a gateway. Calling it a router is more accurate but when marketing gets into things terminology often gets muddled. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
