Just a thought, have you got a /etc/resolv.conf I remember when I had similar probs here on my network, I didn't have an /etc/resolv.conf and once I created one I got responses to pings and the like, however, john's suggestion is feasable too and if I remember correctly, the mtu for an adsl modem is 1440 or there abouts. hth -- Shaun Oliver "Becareful of the toes u step on today, they maybe connected to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow!"
