Hi,

I'm running NT4 w/s SP2 + hotfixes (RAS, Kernal etc.) and with only TCP/IP
on my LAN it all seems to work just fine. I'm using 10.xxx.xxx.xxx as my
private LAN addresses without DNS, and using RAS for dial-up to Demon with
the "use default gateway on remote node" box checked. There are a multitude
of other possible things to set up, so can you provide a little more info
on your LAN and TCP/IP config please. If you want to discuss it then call
me and we can scan through all the setup info I used and compare it with
yours. I did have terrible trouble with the 33k6 number (0345 353 5666) for
a couple of weeks, then Demon seemed to have done something and since then
it's all been AOK. Hotfix for RAS (post SP2) seems to be a good thing to
have.

One day (not NOW, but soon) I plan to write this stuff up and post it, so
you're calling me might help that process!

Cheers, Colin.
