You can assign it an IP address (it can be a bogus 10. address) and it will "encapsulate" the 10. packets in the normal IP packets from your host. This is called an "Encap Gateway". Try looking it up on one of the search engines...there is a lot of info. The software is available for download from oak.oakland.edu in the Simtel 20 stuff. -Jim Durham
