My main system is connected to a Linksys router, which functions as my gateway. I've turned off DHCP on the Linksys so as to assign my main machine a pseudo-static IP. I was pondering the idea of settup up a caching nameserver on the IBM. It would at least give me something to play with. But I'm also fishing for other ideas in regard to other uses. If you had an old PII just sitting there all lonely looking, what would you do with it? :p Thanks for the suggestions, John Wilson __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
