Re: Perils of Gwendolyn (er, 8364 futzing)

Kevin, I did a shutdown then a power off. Gateway is still 192.168.1.1

Both systems are the same (except the 8364 uses an Intel PRO/100+ Management Adapter). The difference is that the 8364 says the Host Name is "NETVISTA", while the 760XL reports machine/ISP.

Hostname shouldn't matter, that could only affect name resolution like 'ping 760XL'. Intel PRO+ are very good (remember: I use these machines as routers), in fact all Intel networking gear is top notch. If the network is setup to do transparent bridging, every thing looks a go to me. One way to rule out some possibilities would be to eliminate the bridge, by hooking the machine up to the WAN router.

This is from the 760XL, which does get through to the downstairs router, and then to the internet:
