I did not give it a gateway address during install, save that for later when you telnet to it. I then took one of the computers on the LAN off of a dial up account and gave it no info on the gateway. Voila! I can continue to configure and set up the firewall via my other computer. Is that telnet on a LAN or just what do you call it? Now if they would just deliver the cable modem and give me the IP addresses I can convert to broadband. Life is good, just don't weaken. And never give up. -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
