Hello! Mark this is an early morning (for here) out of the blue guess, but could it be something not quite right on your router? As for your Ubuntu issues..... It might even be that distribution. That family can be extremely hard to configure for applications that aren't normally part of their own packaging.... ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

There are no adjacency up messages for this box and the bridge doesn't seem to communicate with it (no debugging generated). I can directory the remote FAL server directory and SET HOST between the two boxes which are on the same LAN - but I cannot see MIM:: from TSR2, only from SIMVAX:: when the adjacencies are up. Mark.
