Thanks for the heads up on html mail...i just installed this new email
client on my MAC and forgot to set the preferences.
The router is a DHCP server which provides dynamic ip#s to the clients.
I did not set up a "route"(not sure how to do that).
All of the clients are behind the router, which is the firewall.
How do I tell if the DHCP / bootp is running?
I do try to ping the router, but get "host unreachable"
Thanks!
