PING is saying that the IP address of myw2k is 192.168.1.2 - is that true? Do you have a Name Server that is resolving names on you LAN? Just wondering how ping is knowing the IP address of the windows box...

I think you can just restart X - ctl-atl-BACKSPACE should restart X ---- if it drops you to a prompt w/o restarting, just type startx there may be an easier way than restarting the winder manager, but I think that is easier than rebooting! _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
