Almost like a switch; you still need crossover cable, though, if you're directly connecting two systems together. Are you using crossover cable to connect the 'server' and the 'workstation' ? You aren't getting a physical connection between the server and workstation, that's the issue, not bridging. -- Rob | If not safe, Jabber: athlonrob at axpr.net | one can never be free.
