Any way I wot bother now with why cant I ping the machine with its name rather than with its IP :) > Try setting IP_MASQ_NETWORK to "" first > If that doesn't work then try disable connection sharing > It may be that they are mutually exclusive. I did that and the messag disapeared, now it tells me this : [root@hanan hanan]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/bastille-firewall start Enabling Mandrake Internet Connection sharing If you would like to use Bastille's masquerading support instead, edit /etc/Bastille/bastille-firewall.cfg (especially the IP_MASQ_NETWORK setting) and run /etc/rc.d/init.d/bastille-firewall start to use Bastille's masquerading/connection sharing rules. And the ping is still working, so I guess I'm fine with that too :) Now I gotta move on to the main issue which is how can I share the files between the 2, shall I go samba ? or ftp ? --------------------- Hanan AL-Shargi
