Yes. It could with a dhcp-assigned IP address, and it now can access the
Internet with the fixed IP address I just gave it (192.168.0.2). I can also
still ping mojo by hostname from krusty, etc. They're all on a first name
basis, except mojo and monty aren't talking. I notice the ping error
message from mojo to monty is "timed out", not "unknown host", as when I
enter a bogus hostname.

No. I gave up the software firewalls after I installed Smoothwall.

None that I know of, no blocked IPs or the like. It's locked down to the
Internet, but allows internal access. I can access apu from mojo through
the web page interface just as I can from all other machines.

I'm about to upgrade the Win2kSP2 machine (krusty) to Win2kSP4, since
that's the only difference I can see between the two machines' setups. I'll
see if that blitzes my dhcp abilities... 

Thanks for all your help, Sam.

PS: latest dhcp log. I put mojo on a fixed IP at about 11.00:
