Hello all, I am trying to get a desktop system to act as the router for a laptop. I seem to have DHCPD running - it assigns an IP to the laptop when it all comes up. The setup is: Cable modem (works fine) Desktop running DHCP gets assigned an IP from the cable modem on boot (works fine) Laptop connected to the desktop gets assigned an IP via the second ethernet card in the desktop. The laptop doesn't appear to be able to ping anything on the net though, either as names or IP numbers (www.compuserve.com or 201.33.86.95), so both routing and DNS aren't working yet. Both work fine on the Desktop system. And just for information... The laptop running DHCP gets assigned an IP from the cable modem if connected directly to the cable instead of to the desktop. DNS and routing are fine this way. Anyone got this working? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Bret
