Cc: steve@cioeserv.cioe.com Sender: owner-isp@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > Hi, I have two ethernet running in my office. One is connected with Internet. The other is my Intranet. All use FreeBSD2.1.5 as its server. Since I have not enough IPs, the hosts in my intranet are assigned with unofficial IPs. Now, I am planning to setup one host (FreeBSD2.1.5 box) as a gateway so the hosts in the intranet can ftp some file from the internet. But I really need help on how to do that even when I have connected the two nets by make their hub connected. > Use gateway? gated? dual home host? IP alias? Which one will work or is that possible??? > If I'm understanding your message correctly, your going to need to use a proxy server running on your 2.1.5box. The IP addresses behind that box aren't routable (unofficial IPs). -Steve
