Person on the other end can't see anywhere. Hmm, this seems strange to me, since I've got a similar setup (but with multiple incoming lines and one outgoing line). I don't have the addresses hard-coded in my options file though. How long of a time exists between the time the first machine logs out and the second machine connects? It *could* be the arp bug I've posted about in the past, although I don't seen any errors. Is there anyway of connecting via a shell account in between and looking at the routing table? I've got a couple others ideas that might work, but let's try and track down the problem first. Nate
