Thanks Dan I have been looking over the link you supplied (for a while now) and I have IPNETROUTER installed on the Powermac. The only thing I am not sure of is exactly what you mean by "tell it to receive packets via MacIP" on the SE. I have MACTCP istalled on the SE. Is there a setting to get it to receive via MacIP? All I can see is the basic LocalTalk icon with a place to put an IP address along with a more button which allows you to enter the gateway address and the DNS info. Am I missing something?
