Thanks for the reply Al..

I don't recall trying to ping the PC... I think with my testing tonight
and remotely changing the router configuration trying everything, I've
caused it to lock up or the modem has rebooted so I can't check anything
at the moment until I can get someone there to restart it tomorrow
morning.

The subnets ARE the same in this situation. You know, I thought in the
back of my mind that logically that might be a problem.. If indeed the
subnets have to be different then I'll certainly make that change
tomorrow..

I'll post a followup after making those changes..

Thanks again.
Bryan
