It works flawlessly.
I'll try that next time I try it (probably this weekend). I can't imagine it would make a difference though. >> For the most part, everything worked as expected.

I can't check right now though (to avoid reconfiguring everything else, whatever is acting as the router gets the .1 address. So I can't put the Linksys back on-line without shutting down IPNetRouter and switching some cables around). BTW, FWIW, I also have Norton Personal Firewall (DoorStop rebranded) running on the SIMS/IPNetRouter system. But that was true before too. -- Larry Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stonejongleux.com/ ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
