Yeah. First, break your lines at 70 characters or less. Netiquette and all that. Second, have you power cycled the wireless internet feed box? Many such devices recognise a MAC address and won't talk to other MAC addresses until they "forget" what they learned (and generally cycling power is a good way to do that). Perhaps the feed has learned your NT box's MAC. Other than that, I don't have any ideas. I've missed the beginning of this thread so I apologise if I missed this info already. It would be helpful to know a few things: o IP addresses involved o hardware involved (the feed box, the network cards) o dmesg output after you load network card modules etc. HTH, -- Nathan Norman "Eschew Obfuscation" Network Engineer GPG Key ID 1024D/51F98BB7 http://home.midco.net/~nnorman/ Key fingerprint = C5F4 A147 416C E0BF AB73 8BEF F0C8 255C 51F9 8BB7
