Kindly > help. If you have an external modem, this will mean that your probably nat'ing from your modem. ie: your modem establishes the connection with your ISP. If this is the case, all you have to do is establish your vr0 network with your modem, and set it as the default route. If this is not the case, you will need to provide the list with more details as to the internal network structure; ie IP addresses, etc. -- Jonathan Chen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "I love deadlines.
