Well danged -- I hate windoze sometimes.... I set all my numbers as detailed above
and I still get no connection at all.  Oh... I did set the netmast on both my PC
and the Raq to 255.255.255.0.  Did you mean "netmask" for "network" above Gerald, by chance?  

My pinging just times out on each ping try.

Anybody have any idea what the heck you do in W2000 to direct-connect?

Thanks,
Theo
