You're 100% correct. They've each been assigned the other's IP address. Okay, thanks, I will try to prod dhcp to get this sorted. They're both given IP addresses from the firewall during boot via dhcp, starting at 192.168.1.100, and I also have /etc/hosts manually configured and boot posh first so that posh `always' (but not this time!) gets assigned .100, and coo .101. This is ugly, I know. Perhaps I should rely on the firewall 100% and remove the entries in /etc/hosts? luke -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
