You're getting there:) Apparently you have crossover cabling oherwise you wouldn't be able to ping directly. For Jennifer and Jackie to get www names resolved you need to tell their boxes where the name server for the outside-world is. They're both going via the main box so: edit "/etc/resolv.conf" with the following command (as root) "cat nameserver 192.168.1.1 > /etc/resolv.conf" on Jackie. As Jennifer has a winblows box you'll have to muck with the IP/TCP "properties" somewhere and add 192.168.2.1 as nameserver. Make sure to either edit the network scripts as Greg said or use mandrake control centre for your network settings....otherwise you'll lose all your settings (except /etc/resolv.conf) at a reboot. Having jackie and Jennifer on 2 different subnets means they both can communicate with the main box and the internet but not with each other. If you want to have that too, you can bridge the 2 nics with "bridge-utils". You'll probably have to install the package though. -- Good luck, HarM
