Someone's blowin' smoke. Cox should not use 192.168.0.0/16 (192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 inclusive) addresses for any purpose. That range of address is reserved for private networks. For confirmation see RFC 1918 which governs IP Address assignments. Pay particular attention to section 3. <http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1918.html> Are you using a router? Is it set to do DHCP? If so, take a look at your router's configuration page and see what the IP address and the gateway addresses are. (Fer instance, my dial-up connection is 216.228.196.116, while my machine is 192.168.0.102. To the world, I'm at the former number and to me I'm at the latter. My router performs the translation.) Just for grins, send me a p-mail so I can see where it's *really* coming from. Jim -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
