And I assume that he has the static and dynamic ranges set properly on his Fastpath (You did check that, right Jim?). Either way, your answer says nothing to his problem. > (Sorry for all the caps, but I am >trying to stress a point in stupidity on the part of Kinetics and Cayman.) So now that you found somewhere to grind your axe, what is the problem here. I certainly don't see why it is STUPID of bridges to do this!! Aside from being to spec, it might be quite nice to control which IP addresses your Macintosh's get and certainly is unacceptable to forward all IP traffic to the localtalk side. If the problem you are complaining about is that you need to specify a range and cannot use single addresses (i.e. configured from the Mac or the like), maybe you want to mention this to one of the companies in question. Cayman has been very helpful and the person I have been speaking to has been talking to the engineers about this as a down the road design change. Stupidity is a stupid charge. pr -- Pete Resnick (...so what is a mojo, and why would one be rising?)
