Your domain "clasta" needs fixed. This is what gets appended to your name queries when you don't enter a FQDN. For example, mine is georgetoft.com, so if I type "ssh router" I get a connection to router.georgetoft.com (if you find that name does not resolve, it is because I run two name servers - one for the Internet, one for my LAN). In your case, you would attempt a connection to router.clasta, which does not exist (unless you are running your own DNS, which I see you are not). On comp B, put in the same nameserver entries as exists on comp A. When you set up your own DNS, go back and change these - but that's later. The domain entry on comp A probably should be starnetusa.net. I got this value by running nslookup: $ nslookup 216.126.136.250 Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 Name: ns2.starnetusa.net Address: 216.126.136.250 This is not that critical. On bellsouth, I didn't even have a domain entry. On AT&T, I do. Whatever. Comp B is another story. If you have it, and it's wrong, it can cause you heartaches (see above). Once you enter this information on comp B, do this: $ nslookup yahoo.com You should get an answer. Then use a browser. Let us know . . . Thanks, Matt.
