Hi there Ewan, this is not a difficult task. A few things need to be done in order to get it fully working. You say you are running Redhat. I hope you installed Linuxconf because this makes life a little easier. Open Linuxconf and go to networking on the server. For the LAN IP address, specify it as 192.168.0.1 (a reserved address specifically fot this purpose). On the other machines, specify there addresses as 192.168.0.x where x can be almost anyhing from 2 to 255 but it is easier to use consecutive numbers. Now specify there default gateway and DNS server as 192.168.0.1 and the other setting which I cant remember. (It is on the same screen, just specify the address as 192.168.0.1 also) Now, life should be complete! Firstly try going to a web browser and try 139.133.204.30 (I think this should bring up my works web page if I have the correct machine). Anyway, the ultimate test is to try the DNS server also, just browse www.erg.abdn.ac.uk or any other page that takes your fancy and you should be browsing. Hope this helps Allan
