Hi, Gene.. Did you copy-and-paste that entry, or did you manually type
it up? The "gatewasy" line is why I ask.
You said you just now added "hwadress" so it wouldn't be the previous
problem, but it also looks like it might need another "d"? That's
again unless you manually typed that block up that way, but in
reality, it's all correctly spelled in the original file..
