Re: IC lost after changing to a 100Meg Network ~ Switcher problem?

Thanks to your suggestion.... of removing the extra default gateway....IT
WORKS !
I'm ok with using the proxy server.. indeed it is a little difficult to
access the router since it's not mine.... we share the broadband connection
from the computer shop across the road..... although I do have the logon
details and can try to setup a route... Thanks for that also...I wasn't
aware that I could get my network to the router like that.
Isn't it 'safer' for my network being behind the proxy server (or Wingate
with its basic firewall) than directly connected to 'their' network?
Cheers
Andrew
