OK. Tried playing with samba -- no luck. Anyway, now -- even after resetting all the W98 settings to basic 10.0.0.3 settings, restarting routed (with -s), I can ping the adsl router & the W98 box (as well as anything outside) from Linux, & I can ping the adsl router & the Linux box from W98, but there is nothing else. There appears to be no routing happening now, though I find it odd that now -- if there is no routing -- I can ping the Linux box at all (though I can do so with either the public or private address). What the fuck? Meph -- Help! My typewriter is broken! -EE Cummings To unsubcribe send e-mail with the word unsubscribe in the body to: Linux-Anyway-Request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?body=unsubscribe
