Greetings, Actually the only way to get around the AOL thing (and others) is to be able to *authorativly* answer for the IP to NAME matching. In other words; having a Name Service (Domain Name System) running that can answer the querries from AOL and anyone else trying to filter spam from their mail servers/ Customers. This is the only way to get past the problem you originally mentioned you were having. Your "routing" situation stems from the GW (gateway) IP. That is the lowest IP (1 in this case) *must* be your gateway in almost any situation. It is more of the way networking is designed than an "OS" situation. It is all calculated mathematically. Net Blocks are created in such a way that you have "NET" and "BCAST" numbers and you will almost always need to use your Lowest number "NET" as your gateway. Because the Network Protocol is designed to communicate in this fashon, so looks there for that type of information. Hope that helps.
