Sandy,

OK, thanks for your response. I may be able to go that way too (use DHCP
to automatically obtain an IP). You could help me there. Tell me, how
did you set up your TCPIP? That is, what on the "Network", and "Routing"
pages of your TCPIP configuration notebook? You do not have to give me
your specific data, if you don't want, but describe to me what each
entry is that you are using, relative to your router and IPS.

Thanks!
HCM
