I got NAT working today by commenting out my custom menu stuff and doing exactly what the handbook documents, with adjustments for the outdated ipfw documentation. Now I need to backtrack to get back to my menu design goals. I got DNS working by placing my upstream DNS servers in dhcpd.conf. Works fine as long as the router never moves. It is supposed to be mobile, so I am working on a simple solution for that. Still might go with a full DNS, as some suggest, but I need to learn a lot more about managing those configuration files! Performance was excellent. No visible delay pulling up oddball Google image searches. -- Gary Dunn, Honolulu osp@aloha.com http://openslate.net/ http://e9erust.blogspot.com/ Sent from Slate001
