At Thu, 7 Jun 2001 it looks like Stefan Guha composed: <humbly_snipped> SG-->i have a linux box behind that windows firewall/route. SG-->i am connected from the win2k box to the internet using plain dialup (which SG-->worked w/o problems before btw). SG--> SG--> SG-->can anyone please help ? SG-->if not i am going to reinstall win2k on the machine. SG--> </humbly_snipped> ..... I was faced with a similiar scenerio and I reversed the role playing of the two OS's in the above snipped passage and have never had a problem since. If there is a reason to have Win-2K being the shot caller here that I don't know of then I apologize for the Linux suggestion. -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ "UNIX, A Way Of Life." _\_v http://forwardslashunix.com - [To unsubscribe, send mail to majordomo@lists.gnac.net with "unsubscribe firewalls" in the body of the message.]
