"won't work on in your case because 1 and 3 are on different IP subnets" Well Sean, as you might have gathered from other posts, your proposal worked like a charm. While I haven't yet switched #2 to netbeui, 1 and 3 couldn't be happier, and performance seems a bit better to boot. I am a grateful, happy camper. I did realize that using TCP/IP would expose the LAN to the net--this is one reason I've used NT, and picked an unintuitive password. But I didn't realize that switching to NB would solve the problem. I see how someone from the outside couldn't access my whole LAN via one machine now, but couldn't they still access each machine via their respective connections to the DSL modem? Or am I (likely) missing something? I also see how 1 and 3 were on different subnets. But I still wonder why this was, given that 1 and 2 never were, irrespective of what combination of machines 1-3 were active at a given time. Seems odd. If you (or others) have any favorite URL's you'd suggest for further explanation on such matters, I'd be grateful. It's inexcusable that I don't know more about this stuff if I'm pretending to support an NT LAN. ;) Thanks again, Dave
