Cool. Thanks, Alex. I'll play around with it. But I should add that I'm not sure this is it. A customer on his WinME machine (hmmm.. I *think* it's WinME) can log directly into his airBridge even on his public IP and I'm almost positive I set his gateway to 192.168.10.10 ..like I do for everyone else's.
In fact, come to think of it, I was walking a customer through his simpleMonitor configuration, and he saw our local library come up on his Search screen. The libray was programmed by my installer (using XP on his laptop) and this customer has XP on his desktop. First thing I had him do was change his NIC's IP to 192.168.10.101/255.255.0.0 (his radio is 192.168.5.25/255.255.0.0). He could see the Library's radio, but I could not (using Win98 laptop and Win2K servers). I eventually went to the Library and plugged in my laptop and changed IP address. I can see the library just fine now. I'm going to have to play with the XP vs Win98/2K thing and see what I find. Unfortunately... I don't have a WinXP box anywhere. :( ..or should I say :) One last thing... I don't know if this matters, but my Win2K servers have multiple IPs: PublicIP, 192.168.0.132, 192.168.5.0, etc, etc. The Win2K servers have no problem seeing any of the radios that I program with my Win98 laptop. They're not so sucessful with seeing the radios that my programmer sets up with his WinXP laptop. I keep thinking it's some kind of configuration error (gateway!!), so we'll see. (although that doesn't explain why my customer could see the Library and I couldn't.) My head hurts. Time to go home!
