I played a bit with his laptop (damn it's a bi**h to do anything with winders) and found that "Internet Connection Sharing" was enabled. I disabled same and it seems to have done the trick. My God! I fealt like a noobie trying to fumble my way around that thing. Is there no way of restarting the network on XP? -- Regards, Ernie -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
