There are registry edits that help, but I don't want to have to do a bunch of edits when we get stuck with a hundred Vista machines. I have plenty of time, for now, to experiment. There are posts that say the subnet needs to be authoritative, but mine is. What happens is that the Vista system will not route outside the local subnet for more than 5 or 10 minutes. Vista is just a little too new to me, and I need to get more "feet wet" time. I worked on a system at home for my nephew, but that dhcp is served by dnsmasq software. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...
