Best suggestion: Renumber your internal network into one of private networks (10.*, 192.168.*, 172.16.*). Alternate suggestion: configure correct netmask for your internal network (such as, if you choose to be 64.1.1.1 with netmask 255.255.255.0, you will only lose connectivity to 64.1.1.*, not entire 64.*) -alex ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
