I was asked by message from UUASC (Unix Users Association Of Southern California) to try changing the address. So I change it to (just for the sake of difference) 172.1.1.1 with netmask of 225.225.225.0 and I WAS able to ping the inter face successfully. was nfe0 192.168.1.16 (could ping) nfe1 192.168.1.17 (could not ping) nfe1 changed to 172.1.1.1 (now returns ping request) so that does seem to make a difference. I do not know why. But it looks like I will be able to go ahead and assign it the public ip address and it should work. Thanks Jeff K
