Thanks everyone who responded. I managed to fix the problem - an oversight
by mself.
We have 3 subnets 204, 207 and 217. Subnet 217 is a test subnet and as such
all incoming packets are routed to a specific part of the network, however
(you guessed it) my machine was not in that part of the network. I have now
managed to setup the other machines withing the 204 subnet as follows
To 204 Network

Henry---------Hub-------Douglas

Bill
Now I can run Netscape on bill and use henry as the dummynet simulating
satellite transfers. Douglas collects all packets on the hub for analysis.
Bill is setup as a bridge and not a router so no routing tables were
modified. If anyone is still reading, not bored and would like more
information on how to set this kind of setup up(?) I will try to help.
Thanks again
Allan
