You need to bug your PPP server into assigning you a static address of .198.1. You can't just go moving IPs around, especially within a different Class A network (204 v 205). The server needs to know who you are so it can route packets for you. Is 205.134.198.1 an authorized IP address? > Thanks for any responses. ;) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@gladstone.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
