Yup. In my experience the only time you need to check that box is when you're using the Mac on it's own on a dialup account. For TCP/IP networking over a LAN you _don't_ want it checked. Silly Mac likes to dump out TCP/IP then can't be persuaded to load it again, especially when networked to non-Mac machines. Until I found that checkbox I would get about 10 minutes of networking then I'd have to reboot the Mac. It'd dump the connection even when doing file transfers with DAVE to/from my PC. (But part of the problem was also WinGate and SyGate on the PC. No problems with DAVE or internet sharing using Microsoft ICS on Win98SE!) ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
