The number returned is that of the router !!!! It's telling >me that the router is using the baby-pc's ip address, when of course it >isn't. It's using its own, and an entirely different C class at that. Sounds like the router thinks that the class C in question is on the other side of it, and is doing proxy ARP. Try configuring the router with a route to the network you're playing with, or turning off proxy ARP. Bill
