chris, I also was thinking the nul.
thought he can figure that out himself.

also, don't know about his net stuff but he might have the default gateway as 10.0.x.x even for clients in the other ip-class...
then that does not work [Wink]
just wanted to make as sure.
your suggestion anyway does somewhat the same and still is shorter and does not output anything [Cool]
