Hi Tim, How are you assigning IP addresses? If you are doing it manually, make sure that you are giving the Win98 machine a valid IP on the same subnet as the Debian machine. If the Win98 machine is set to dhcp then unless the Debian machine is a dhcp server, the Win98 machine will set it's IP to something in the 169. range. Hope that helps. -- Kourosh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
