If i try a new nwconfig still doesn't work. Worked only with a full reset of entire system and then nwconfig. I'm not sure that tomorow will work and find the same problem. i will try comparing the settings as you said if tomorow i will have the same problem, but everytime I had the problem I cecked the settings of both interfaces and everything was fine. I think the problem is at the firewall or at the permissions. Also today I observed the error : "<ip> sent and ICMP error to a broadcast" but this dissapeared after I turned off smb server. I have two fears : somebody is messing around with the server, from outside, or software problems. I'm very sad that I don't know to much about linux and couldn't understand few basic concepts, and also the documentation for administration is very poor.<br>Thank you.<br><br>gabriel.<br><br><b><i>Ralph Siemsen <ralphs@netwinder.org></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left:
