Well you might be right. But I'm not on any W$ lists and most Linux guys know 
W$ too. Either by having switched from it or using it at work. Anyway the 
deal is you will not find Opus on the net. This is a home net only. I write 
my site at home and then upload it.

I really don't think so since I have 5 other Linux systems up and running on 
this net and one DOS system.

I don't have the system up at the moment, but the W$ error was something about 
an IP and not allowed etc.

OK, when I am on Penguin (W$) at the DOS command line, I type in ping 
192.168.17.41 (That's Opus) it works fine.

Sorry this is my test site on my home net. The real site is listed below in my 
sig. <G>

This is a large part of my question I'm not sure if I've done it correctly. In 
fact I'm sure I've got it messed up. That's the problem.<G>

No router, just a hub.  I don't use a nameserver on Linux do I need it with 
W$? 
(Ok I know I sound as bad as a first day newbie, but I am new with W$ <G>)

No firewall.

I am running a simple install of SuSE 8.1. 

Thanks for you all's help....
