Something you can often do with DHCP servers is to reserve an IP address for certain MAC address. This allows you to maintain the static IP address, but not have to configure anything on client machines. It lets you keep all of the configuration work in one place -- the DHCP server. The best of both worlds! Don't know if you can do that with your router or not. One thing to try if you want to troubleshoot what's happening when you are using web sharing with the statically assigned address (where you configured it manually). Try pinging from your other machines to the machine running the web server, and try pinging from your web server machine to the client machines. You can also try pinging from your web server machine to the gateway. This might point out some IP connectivity problem. ------------- Jason Tessier Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the MacSwapShop @ http://www.macswapshop.com -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
