Does ping actually work? There is announce or dns to consider. I have my gateway act as a caching dns with all the ip address coded there in the hosts table, then point windows there as a DNS very easy. The other thing to look at is announce option. It passes out its IP as an announcement to windows machines. -- Thanks KenF OpenOffice.org developer -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
