Good news, Renaming the folder did the trick. Not only that, but route works! I set up a default route on my LAN as was able to ping www.yahoo.com and www.google.com. I was also able to establish an ftp connection to ftp.microsoft.com. I am on my way out the door, but I will set up a formal test plan for route when I get home... Good job, Phillipe! Brennan
