Great.  Could you post your dnsmasq config so we can record how this is done? > The problem now is I try to login, the system waits for 30 seconds and > thenI get the message: > > "No response from server.

That's curious.  Could you run tcpdump on the server something like     tcpdump -i eth0 host w.x.y.z and tcp port 22 to see does the client successfully make an ssh connection to the server? Put the client's ip address in place of w.x.y.z obviously. Gavin </div></div> </body></html>
