It's possible that there's a DNS problem : - unrelated to the routing issue. If you just use ping and IP numbers : rather than machine names, step 6. should work first time. Name or IP numbers, it doesn't care. : Can you "draw" what's going on (in ascii) ? ie. what are the IP : numbers and netmasks of each machine.

Mhm...That is true: both sides of PLIP link (gateway and laptop) have IP numbers from the same domain as all the ethernetted machines (including the router). I did try it with numbers from a different domain, but it didn't work either (although the circumstances were different from described in the last post). I'm going to experiment with this stuff on Monday though, and try to figure out what exactly is wrong.
