And it works..in the boot sequence, they all read as OK. In the Computer B, running Windows 95, I changed the TCP/IP properties so that it is using 192.168.0.1 as a gateway, I set it to "specify an IP address" of 192.168.0.2, and the DNS config is as follows: "Host"- anyname, used mackenzie..."Domain"- myschool'sdomain.edu..."DNS Search Order"- IP address of primary and secondary DNS servers..."Suffix Search Order"(something like that)- my school's domain name.edu. Sound ok? Computer C is (gasp) a Mac..an old mac. I know, but it was free and it's part of the challenge. I haven't setup the Mac yet (it's running MacOS 7.1 with MacTCP). Then I turned to the IPCHAINS and IP Masquerading HOWTOs at www.linuxdoc.org.....more than a bit confusing...but I did setup /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall, with my information. (As a bonus the IP Masquerding HOWTO has setups for Mac). Is there anything I am missing? Valjean
