On the gateway machine, the one attached to the internet, is the router? Whatever address this network card, the one that is connected to the hub will be the gateway for all the other computers. So on the other computers simple point then to this address as the gateway. Say the address of the router is 192.1268.1.1, then this is the address of the gateway that they would point to. Also on the computer use as the router gateway insure that /etc/sysconfig/network has NETWORKING=yes and FORWARD_IP4=true. You may wish to add the other computers address and names in the /etc/hosts file. As for Komba2 you might try adding under the setting configure the range of ip's to scan. You may need to set the passwords up first. Also try pinging from and to each machine. Larry -- Sword'sEdge VoiceMail/Fax: (858) 860-6406 x1587
