Thanks, I'm just coming to that conclusion myself.  My textbooks on
networking all discuss a network that assumes there's enough number to
go around, and that's just not the situation I have.  I undoubtedly have
mucked up something, I guess I have to read some more.  I have 3 network
ID's that are not coverable by a netmask in my little local network of 3
machines.  One machine has the ppp line to the world, and I have the
little 3 machine ethernet here, but only 3 numbers total, not an extra
number for the network itself (like my books would have it).

I guess I have to read some more.
