Hi Mark and All! This is to thank everyone who responded or think through my question but could not response. I have been able to resolve the problem. Actually, I install Checkpoint NG on the Windows NT 4.0 system for my home lab but had not being using it. So I completely forgot that its security modules still loads in the services. So it drops all traffics. Thanks once again. Regards. Godswill ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark W.
