Bruce, Ah Yup .. the initial mod you suggested to the router rc file didnt work so I am assuming that oinit isnt doing anything clever with it. I have currently hacked a copy of my bridge disk to reset the sysctls for bridgeing to 0 and the forwarding to 1 so that it can start to act as a router. thats net.link.ether.bridge=0 net.inet.in.forwarding=1 and i will be using my existing ipfw setup from the bridge days this appears to be booting and setting thingz ok now thanx guys Murray Taylor Project Manager Bytecraft Systems Pty Ltd ph: +61 3 9587 2555 Fax: +61 3 9587 1614 Email: taylorm@bytecraftsystems.com -----Original Message----- From: Bruce R.
