As that question was asked by several people, the 192.168.101.x addresses are arbritrary addresses for my own subnet. The 193.135.252.47 and 193.135.252.179 were addresses assigned to me by my ISP. Both are routed from his machine, so if I try a traceroute from icemark to firefrancs new address without setting the host-route for .179 to my second machine first, the traceroute packets just 'run in circles' between icemark and lisa. Still, there's one host at thenet that still needs to be configured properly (traceroute from the outside currently stops before reaching lisa, but that will be fixed soon). The problem on my own system can't currently be solved by thenet, as their "linux guy" is on a holiday at the moment...

Any more ideas anyone? Benedikt signoff --- Benedikt Eric Heinen - Muehlemattstrasse 53 - CH3007 Bern - SWITZERLAND email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
