Let me describe briefly my home network set up: The XP machine has two NICs, one hooked to the ADSL modem/router and the other one, which ICS configure automatically as 192.168.0.1, connected to a 10 Mbps hub (I hope I'll get soon a cheap 100Mbps switch). The other two machines in the network are connected using twisted-pair cable CAT5 to the hub. XP machine (192.168.0.1) is used as default gateway and as DHCP and DNS server for the other two machines. In reality, XP is just a DNS proxy with a minimal DHCP server. No possibility of tweaking the DHCP server although I managed to tweak the DNS proxy (the tweaked settings are lost if the XP machine is rebooted). Am I missing something? Again, thanks a lot. Adolfo
