OK, it sounds like your problem is with name resolution. The first thing I'd suggest (assuming you don't want to do an upgrade to something newer, like Bering-uClibc) is bypassing the DNS cache on your router. Edit the /etc/dhcpd.conf file and put your ISPs name servers in the "option domain-name-servers" line. Restart the dhcp server (svi dhcpd restart), and update your windows boxen (reboot or run ipconfig /renew from a command line). If you don't know the IP address(es) of your ISP's DNS servers, look in the /etc/resolv.conf file and/or your ISP's help pages (it's usually listed somewhere online, but not always easy to find). If you need the dnscache for reasonable network performance (ie: very slow internet connection), I'll need some more information to debug what's going wrong. At the very least, the output of "net ipfilter list" and any log entries about dropped/rejected packets. -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
