The outside world connects fine. It can only not talk to itself. netstat -rn shows hscnet's gateway to be 127.0.0.1. i am getting the error arpresolve on my error terminal. i have tried arp -s hscnet.hsc.wvu.edu (ethernet addr) pub but no help. any ideas? I imagne this is something very very simple, but I have evidently missed something in the man pages and my Nemeth. thanks for your help ====================================================================== Jeremy Sigmon B.S.
