Hello, I will try explain it clearly. e-net catv enet enet PC-box ------- cable modem ------ com controller ------ gateway ----- 131.174.118.146 131.174.116.7 Between the PC-box and the gateway it is a ethernet connection (no PPP), and the PC-box is NOT a gateway itself (for example a home-lan). I hope it is specific enough to answer this question. Thanks. Hans. On Thu, 10 Jun 1999, Crist J.
