Not to be rude, but go buy a book on basic TCP/IP networking and one on general system administration (O'Reilly have an excellent set of books that cover the sort of things you're asking.) What you need to do is : 1) Throw out WINPKT, uninstall TWSK, ftp to ftp.microsoft.com and get the TCP/IP for Workgroups (presuming that's what you're using). 2) Install this and get the latest WinQVT and install that. 3) Read the books you bought earlier about routing and arrange to have your network (208.214.163.*) routed to your hub. > I want to have 2 servers on the network, one for main processing and > one for email/WEB. I used an IP address of 208.214.163.2 for the > second server and even though the two server are identically set up, > I can't get a connection on the hub.

It's impossible to tell you what _is_ wrong without a much more detailed description of your setup. > Dale Benzer -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"
