Hello Brian. Sounds like your set-up is exactly what I want to do. Any advice or links with good info. Replace the first part of the e-mail address with my 'name' will get mail to me directly. I've just installed 3.1 I need to :- 1) Get both ne2000 boards recognised (someone has supplied info which i hope works). 2) Decide whether to use NAT (IP Masquerading ) or a firewall. 3) Obviously install and set-up the one I choose, or is better. 4) Do a log-on script for RoadRunner. I have 5 machines on the lan, mostly older ones I got free or cheap. I'd like to hear about what you chose to use and how you did the set-up's. Regards...Martin PS. Perhap's we need to get a group of novies and an expert together to go through this process, and then we can write up a HOWTO or something. ----------------------- Brian J.
