Thanks for the reply, Bill.

Now then.

Obviously, I cannot give out the public IP address, but I have done a
couple of route adds so that a 128.x.x.x external WAN can see via the
gateway, and I have tried a route add 0.0.0.0 through the same gateway
to try to acheive the desired result.

For whatever reason, Win95 and Win98 machines can see the server and
vice-versa, but WinME and WinXP machines can not.

Also, I have installed UW7 in many places and not come across this
before, but I feel I am missing something.

In answer to your question on Routing tables, if you are referring to
the arp structure, it looks fine, but cannot see the MAC address of
the machines I am talking about.

I can neither ping the devices nor can they ping me.

Cheers,

Chaz.
