Well, from the looks of thenet.ch's DNS zone info, you don't "own" a subnet, but rather just a single IP address. The reason you can't get anything from the internet back to firefranc is that thenet.ch's router isn't routing anything to you but packets destined for 193.135.252.47. If you wan't to have more than one host on your end "on" the net without using a proxy or IP masquerading, you'll have to negotiate with your ISP to get a subnet. I suggest you check out the IP masquerading HOWTO or take a look at SOCKS. -- Jens B. Jorgensen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
