Not that I can see: the fact that an RAS connection is to be 'shared' seems to be a setting *on* my laptop [If there's a way to tell it "share ALL my RAS connections" I couldn't find it but would _love_ to have it!!!]. And so when I dialin on the "other" RAS connection, it is "not shared" and then I have to go make myself administrator and monkey around. And then all's well... until I switch back to the first RAS connection. If there's a way to make the switch automatic or to have more than one RAS connection emabled for sharing, do tell!!! /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <-- -- ---------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is your picture included in the Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page? http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html If not, write to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
