If you did, it will default to blocking any traffic (I don't know about ICMP traffic though, it seems a bit odd it doesn't block your pings too, but I'm not sure if that's blocked by default). > > I have searched the mail archives and the handbook in vain for a solution. > Can anyone help me out here? > > BTW, once I get this straightened out I plan to connect my wife's Win95 > machine to the net.

Just open the Network control panel applet, and then choose Add and Protocol, then select Microsoft and TCP/IP. After that, select the TCP/IP protocol and click on properties to get to its setup dialog boxes. It's as easy as it can be. > > Thanks, > Frank > -- > Only in America can a homeless veteran sleep in a cardboard box while a > draft dodger sleeps in the White House - anonymous > > Nadav
