Nope. Even if the gateway knows that it is the same wire, the new machine doesn't think it needs to use the gateway. The purpose of subnet masking is to avoid using the gateway. > Hence, best to do a big-bang update of all machines: proper operating > systems can do that on the fly.[snip] Agreed. There is still the question of why it doesn't work after changing the subnet mask to be the same. It is really a TCP/IP problem, not a VNC one. Waiting on the results of the ping as suggested by Dave Warren. -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
