Wanted to say 2.0, but I first ran 2.1.0 so... tell me to go sleep next time. 8-) The best bet is to try a large ping and see what happens. One machine here that was on 2.1.7 would most likely have died, as it has some problems with portmap after an upgrade, which is why I wiped it clean for 2.2.1. Can't wait till we have a network card in our HP4. ;-) ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990
