well, that I had done, in /etc/dhcpd.conf. I htin the issue probably had to do with routing & could have been fixed with iptables, b ut the various internet sources I had pointed me in directions that led nowhere. ANyway I fixed my immediate need by modifying pxeboot files so I could do thi initial install without the internet; then went back and upgraded after that. So all's well, but I wish I'd figured it out. thanks to everyone, matt > -- Kevin Hello I hope this helps http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-Bridge-netfilter-HOWTO.html http://small.dropbear.id.au/docs/adslfirewall.html You can ignore the part of patch the kernel, ebtables and firewall if you only want to route the traffic.
