My suggestion was to have the linux box set as a class B network instead of a C (so that the linbox would accept connections from 192.168.*.* instead of just 192.168.0.* for example) and have the connection sharing allowed to 192.168.0.* range of IP's in the subnet and not 192.168.1.* (and the rest of the ip range of the network), put the win98 on 192.168.0.* and put the win2k on 192.168.1.*. then on both put the gateway as 192.168.0.1 (the linbox lan interface's ip) so that they could both connect to it, just that the win2k boot would be out of the ip range of the connection sharing. It was just an idea and i was wondering if it would work if setup that way. so it isn't really on a different subnet that the linbox can't see, since the linbox's subnet mask would be 255.255.0.0. but i wasn't sure if i was right. I'm fairly new to networking so i was probably wrong. Had I more than 2 machined I'd have tested it first before suggesting it however I only have 2 so i threw it out to the list and said maybe... get feedback on it. jerry -- -- Registered Linux user # 300600 Registered Linux machine # 185855 at http://counter.li.org (¬_ //\ V_/_
