That's what I thought. Now they tell me that their routers (which pass routing info via rip) can tell the presence of hosts on the other side of my Linux router, which is using static routes, and that's the reason that they claim I can't even get into their network. > : I also can't seem to get out of the intranet via the Linux diald machine. > : I'm testing stuff using tracert under WinNT, and getting *'s.

This weekend I'll be building a 486/25 to be 204.186.230.3, which probably won't be available to the internet until I get the routing right, but you could telnet to 204.186.27.145 and then telnet to 204.186.230.3, and then do whatever testing/snooping came to mind.
