Uh, before doing this, I'd opted to look at what masq is doing: /sbin/ipchains -L Chain input (policy ACCEPT): target prot opt source destination ports icmp icmp ------ anywhere anywhere any -> any ACCEPT tcp ----l- 192.168.0.0/24 192.168.0.3 any -> any ACCEPT tcp ----l- 192.168.0.3 192.168.0.0/24 any -> any Chain forward (policy ACCEPT): target prot opt source destination ports MASQ all ------ 192.168.0.0/24 anywhere n/a MASQ all ------ 10.0.0.0/24 anywhere n/a Chain output (policy ACCEPT): Chain icmp (1 references): target prot opt source destination ports ACCEPT all ------ anywhere anywhere n/a While I don't know what the deal iw with the 192's -- know how I remove them & replace with 10.etc's -- if necessary. Anyway, is this normal? > Also, what's set up as default gateway on he winboxes? At the moment, as it was the case when I got it working yesterday, 10.0.0.1.

Where, exactly, should I find the routing tables? I've looked & looked, but I can't find them. Meph -- He who laughs last is probably your boss.
