Hi Glenn,
I'm just downloading Ethereal. I hope I'll find out what 
it can do for me, otherwise I'll have to badger you. ;-)
Badgering: I have downloaded ethereal, but the Windows 
PC is not involved in the whole thing, as it's just 
another client on the DSL modem/router.

Yes, I can telnet out to numbered IP-hosts, but it 
doesn't work with their aliases.
Example: sdf-eu.org does not work, 192.94.73.35 does.

I suspect I have the wrong dns information in my 
Marinetti panel or in my Performa TCP/IP-Settings. 
Tweaking now ... if I only knew in which direction.

So the Gatorbox is working for you? I didn't get my 
Fastpath to work.
