At this stage, the NT box can ping web sites successfully using their IP address but not the URL name. Sounds like your DNS is not set up on the NT box. Set up your DNS on the NT box, and all should be well. I was able to make some adjustments in the NT box as recommended. Unfortunately, I made them without testing immediately afterward so I'd rather not report them to the list at this time. I do, however, have access to the internet now on the NT side. Thanks for your help. Bob Perry -- I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed.
