Make sure you configured your kernel with the following line uncommented: options GATEWAY # IP routing If not, uncomment this line and rebuild your kernel. Also on the client end, specifically with Win95, make sure that "Use Default Gateway" is checked in the TCP/IP Settings. If not, you will not be able to make it past your local host. David G. Cannon
