yes to both
2. What's in /etc/resolv.conf on the gateway and the client machine?

/etc/resolv.conf is identical on gateway and client machines
search northwestern.edu

(ifconfig has changed slightly here - i was experimenting by giving xl1 a subnet mask
of 255.255.255.0 - still doesn't work)
Do your net card and hub both have link lights?

i am hooking the client directly into the internal nic on the gateway, so no hub.
i've verified that both nics on the gateway work - did this by configuring xl1 as the
primary nic, and it worked.
