It can get }networks confused. I think it is for primitive types of network or }something. It's better for large/complex networks to have your workstations run in.routed with the "-q" flag. In this case, in.routed just LISTENS for routing info and doesn't send any. Using this method, you have just a few big machines on your net handle routing and the rest just follow them. This saves a LOT of headaches and problems. -- =========================================================================== #include =:^) Jim Jagielski NASA/GSFC, Code 711.4 jim@jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov Greenbelt, MD 20771 "If we increase the size of the penguin until it is the same height as a man and then compare the relative brain size, we know find that the penguin's brain is still smaller.
