The reason for this is the Portmaster cannot understand variable sub-nets (i.e. RIP2). What III does is to apply a netmask for a range of IPs they have subnetted. That way, when you send a host route that's not really a host but a subnet number, they will send you returns for all your alloted IPs. BTW: 199.232.46.9 is the Worcester Portmaster. Double check that it's the one you call. I hope this makes sense. Craig
