(you can use a script to capture it while 'asleep') I see two possibilities: 1/ the 'box in the office' needs to be told about your machine or 2/ there is an arp/IP clash or netmask misconfiguration. what is the new IP address you are using (compared to to the old one). it's not .0 or .15 or anything silly right? > > > thanks again for sticking with this... > >
