The mac is a 7600 running OT 1.2. Between the 2 is a 4 port hub connected to each by twisted pair. The bsd box is 198.162.10.1 The Mac is 198.162.10.2 But... It doesn't work. It really should but it doesn't. I'm pretty sure my routing is wrong in /etc/sysconfig but I'm not sure how. -- James -oOo- ^CountB^ -oOo- http://www.gothic.u-net.com/ I just might be the angel that you're looking for PERK: 5%
