Without any default gateway you can still connect to any PC in the SAME network as your network card configured. The function of default gateway is to inform your PC which path to take if it needs to go "OUTSIDE" your PC network. Proxy is providing a similar service as a gateway, that's why you can use it to browse the internet with a prerequisite of logging to windows domain (apparently the proxy requires authentication). -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 3:30pm up 6:57, 2.6.16.21-0.8-default GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org
