Ok this is a bit of a messy one...I'll start from the top: -I have a BT Voyager 2091 router as my internet gateway. -From this I have 5 windows XP computers using it as their internet connection. -Off from one of these computers I have a Sun Sparc Ultra 5 running solaris 8 connected via ethernet. -the solaris 8 connection is bridged to the BT Voyager router. i can ping the router at it's IP Address and there's a connection. My problem is i cannot browse the internet etc throught this connection. For some reason all i get is the routers configuration page. Is there a way to set some proxy settings or something that would allow me to browse thru the router... or shall I go with my initial instinct I throw all my gear out of the window!!! John

You likely need to be using ICS on the PC that is "hosting" network and internet access for the sparc machine. If you're not familiar with ICS there's plenty of info in the Windows help files and on MS's website. I'm sure you could find a bunch on google too.
