I've used DHCP to dynamically assign IPs on a LAN, but I much prefer using all static IPs then going through a router, either a dedicated router box or a computer running internet routing software to bring the internet to the LAN. That way I know "who's whom" on the LAN and it's easy to troubleshoot with pings and route traces. Using Win2K or XP Pro it's easy to turn on or off internet sharing on any TCP/IP connection. I don't think you even have to reboot. How does internet sharing (took Apple long enough) do in OSX? ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
