Thanks for the reply. With regards to insecurity well we can always go SSH Tunnel. I hope someone in the world created such a solution, at least, to save the world from trashing those Ethernet Cards. NBJayme

Hello, From what I can digest, to go wireless you have to either: 1) Buy a wireless lan card (if you have an old Ethernet card it may become useless). 2) Connect to Access Point or Access Point and Hub to allow other computers to go wireless through the Access Point. But I am looking at another approach to wireless. The solution is to allow you to continue using the Ethernet card but instead of a cable to the Hub a small device will be attached to make it go wireless. All Ethernet card with this small device will automatically become wireless. Thus, no need to use the Hub. The Advantages are: - No new software driver to setup. Plug the device to the Ethernet card then it's wireless. - Ethernet cards are still useable and no need to throw it. - Goodbye Ethernet Hub and Cables - Hello Ethernet Wireless computer server (optional) Is there such a solution?

Sorry, I've made a mistake. It's was mixed with my stupidity. I assigned the Mandrake Box with the same Ip to that of Fedora Core 1. So, all the while I thought they were both dancing the Tango. I Corrected the IP of my Mandrake Box to a Static Unassigned IP. Still it does not work. The Mandrake Box is connected to a small Hub 10/100M. And the Small Hub is connected to a 10/100/10000GB Hub where Fedora and Windows are located. I was thinking probably the Small Hub is causing the Problem. So I disonnected Mandrake Box from the Small Hub and connected it directly to the Hub where Windows and Fedora are connected. Now the three of them are doing the Mambo. Thanks for the reply. NBJayme

Hello, I have a Fedora Core1 Box, a Win9x Box, and a Mandrake Box The mandrake is on a server IBM xSeries with BroadCom NetXTreme 5703 On Board Mandrake is able to detect the BroadCom and can ping to the Fedora Box. The Fedora Box can Ping to Windows Box and Mandrake But Mandrake Box and Windows Box cannot ping to each other. All the Box are in one SubNet 192.168.0.x 255.255.255.0 NBJayme
