I do not believe so, thats a different layer of networking(lower layer). it *MIGHT* be possible if you setup a static ARP entry in your arp cache, look at the manpage for "arp" how does the ISP reccomend you manage the gateway? I can't imagine an isp would do such a thing and not provide DHCP or something to assign addresses. How do you determine what the IP address is when you connect? nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
