They were supposed to wrap at 70, so I am not sure why they went so wide... I set it to 50, but it
still doesnn't seem to help. I think that Opera might have a bug or 2 in the win32 app... I truly
apologize for the format, and will fix it as soon as I can (and figure out how to)!

No, I want more than pinging - I would like to be able to move files between the 3 machines, and
access files that are on other machines. For example, have the linux computer be able to access
and play an .mp3 file that is on the windows computer, and vice versa...

The router is getting its IP dynamically from @home. The router is currently configured as a DHCP
server, so any machine connected to it is getting its IP dynamically from the router. I haven't had a
need to change that (yet)! I believe the router is doing NAT...
