Fair enough. > Should I give the command 'ifconfig ....' 'route ...' on both > or on one computer? 'ifconfig' and 'route' needs to be run on both computers. This is how I remember doing plip (I've graduated to ethernet since then): On one computer: load plip modules 'ifconfig plip0 192.168.0.1 pointopoint 192.168.0.2 dev plip0' 'route add -host 192.168.0.2 dev plip0' On the other computer: load plip modules 'ifconfig plip0 192.168.0.2 pointopoint 192.168.0.1 dev plip0' 'route add -host 192.168.0.1 dev plip0' Keep in mind, though, that it's been roughly two years since I've played around with this, and that I've probably gotten something wrong. > If it possible I'd like to use two directional traffic. In that case, you'll be glad to hear that plip is bi-directional and only bi-directional. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
