Hi Peter

I have had that issue before. Double check your subnet mask and gateway
numbers. Your gateway should be *.*.*.1 (*) being some numbers issued by
Paradise. Normally your subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0.

Regards

Michael

Your assumption is correct, it is meant to be a router/firewall, however
with no access to the net from this box, it's a bit of a showstopper. As
noted before, both network cards are good. Can ping the LAN side of this
box from the other PCs ok. Cannot ping the WAN side network card (or
beyond) And it used to work so well, although slowly, on dial-up,
dammit!
