I did as you advised, and here are the full results: Here's the listing under machine 1, "bh6": Windows NT IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . : bh6.spkn.uswest.net DNS Servers . . . . . . . . : 207.108.48.1 204.147.80.5 Node Type . . . . . . . . . : Broadcast NetBIOS Scope ID. . . . . . : IP Routing Enabled. . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . : No NetBIOS Resolution Uses DNS : No Ethernet adapter El90x1: Description . . . . . . . . : 3Com 3C90x Ethernet Adapter Physical Address. . . . . . : 00-10-4B-13-8A-E9 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . : 207.108.52.84 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . : 207.108.52.254 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . : 172.16.21.180 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . : Monday, January 18, 1999 6:06:44 AM Lease Expires . . . . . . . : Monday, January 18, 1999 10:06:44 AM Under machine 3, "ton-desk" (the odd one out,) readings are as follows: Windows NT IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . : ton-desk.spkn.uswest.net DNS Servers . . . . . . . . : 207.108.48.1 204.147.80.5 Node Type . . . . . . . . . : Broadcast NetBIOS Scope ID. . . . . . : IP Routing Enabled. . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . : No NetBIOS Resolution Uses DNS : No Ethernet adapter El90x1: Description . . . . . . . . : 3Com 3C90x Ethernet Adapter Physical Address. . . . . . : 00-10-5A-20-5F-DB DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . : 209.181.45.204 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . : 209.181.45.254 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . : 172.16.21.180 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . : Monday, January 18, 1999 6:06:44 AM Lease Expires . . . . . . . : Monday, January 18, 1999 10:06:44 AM pinging does work both ways. From bh6 to ton-desk, I get 30/10/10/10 MS. The other way, it's 100/30/160/30. The time difference is kind of interesting... TIA, Dave
