  Hey,

  I'd asked Scott about this early this morning, but I guess he's 
busy.

  I'll give more detail than I'd given him:

  Yesterday I had four 'puters on the same domain connecting to 
the same hub & each using the isp's gateway, dns, etc via adsl.  
I decided that I had to rearrange my work area & now have that 
hub a few feet too far away for my longest cable to reach to my 
brother's 'puter.

  I then took my other hub (which works), plugged it in & hooked 
up a cross-over cable between the two hubs (in the proper ports) 
& then hooked up my brother's 'puter.  While I can access to & 
from this 'puter within the network, that 'puter can't see the 
gateway or, natually, anything beyond.

  It was accessing just fine through the main hub, but when I 
ping the gateway, I get:

From Nuit.Aeon-AL.Net (63.249.19.73): Destination Host 
Unreachable

  What am I missing?
