For starters, your LAN is going to have to be set up to use the invalid IP addresses, in 10.x.x.x. Then, if I remember correctly, you are going to have to set up proxy support with ppp or something similar. (firewall?) Don't ask me how to set that up, I have a friend trying to get the same situation, I don't know if he ever got it up or not. > My next question, how can I connect the pseudo addresses belonging to the > LAN, to the class C address that is to my ISP?

Again, they are going to have to be invalid if they don't have real assigned IP addresses from your ISP. > In addition, I am currently connecting to my ISP via PPP, without much > success.

Any suggestions on additional > procedures for this matter, or should I be using a different terminal? Does it say 'login failed' or somesuch, indicating the connection isn't getting established?
