MacTCP version 1.0 will only talk to IPGATEWAYs in it's own IP NETWORK (not zone). I found this too and was advised (by very helpful Developer Support person) that it is fixed in MacTCP 1.0.1 - announced as released end Feb. in this newsgroup. MacTCP won't let you set the netmask to 255.0.0.0 if your network isn't Class A (<126). Likewise 255.255.0.0 and Class B. Tough if you're Class C. --------- Tom Evans tom@wcc.oz.au | Webster Computer Corp P/L | "The concept of my 1270 Ferntree Gully Rd | existence is an Scoresby VIC 3179 | approximation" Australia | 61-3-764-1100 FAX ...764-1179 | D.
