  Ok, the reason I ask is my Inet provider uses 255.255.255.0 netmask for 
net
access.  Both Lan machines use the same as for broadcast address, do you mean 
the 192.168 or what is the broadcast address? (I'm still a little new at 
networking)

  My router/system in connected to the Inet using a USR Sportster.  That 
system sees the Inet without any trouble.  What problem I am having is that 
y
Windows system (now 95) will not see past my system to the Internet.  I setup 
a Proxy Server and that works, but the only problem is I cannot use the proxy 
server and my other servers (ftp, HTTP, Telnet) at the same time.

 Sort of, I want my lan to be able to connect to the Internet through my WARP 
4.0 system (BBS, Server, Router).  :)
