This evening I am going to try and see if I can get it (and my switch) tested. desktop box (192.168.0.3): route -n: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 gateway box (192.168.0.1): route -n: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 I have removed iptables from the desktop box in an effort to eliminate possible problems and I upgraded the gateway box from a 2.2.xx to a 2.4.xx kernel and have not yet installed iptables (to replace the ipchains that had been running there) so there is currently no firewall running on either box. (No need for one until I can get this resolved.) I appoloize for the word wrap. I am stuck using my laptop (Windows) and a webmail gateway (Yahoo) until I can get this fixed and have my desktop box back on the Net. The automatic wrap seems to be a Yahoo Mail thing.
