[...] In short, run these four commands as root on your Linux box: route add -net 10.129.206.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0 route add -net 10.129.207.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0 route add -net 10.129.208.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0 route add -net 10.129.209.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0 This alters your routing table to tell the kernel that those four IP networks are on the same physical network card. Keep in mind, though that the Win9x machines need the same done to them if they are to see your system. Do these four networks all use at the same router to get access to the outside world? It would make things a lot easier if you can get your sysadmin to make these changes to the router's routing tables to get this to work. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
