Thanks, all IPs were assigned by router (192.168.1.1) uniquely, but it was a DHCP issue. Got it working by statically assigning my home PC with 192.168.1.222 and setting default gw accordingly. All other wireless PCs/laptop are still DHCP. Found that every time I fiddled with the home PC network stuff it will renegotiate a new IP from the router (NetworkManager is nice to a point), switching between 192.168.1.104 and 192.168.1.103. Guess its more correct to give your internet router PC a static IP, du :) Thanks for the help E-Mail disclaimer: http://www.sunspace.co.za/emaildisclaimer.htm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
