I do not fully understand how routing between 2 logical networks works. Lets say I got net 194.19.1, with default gateway and router to the internet at 194.19.1.1. Now, I want to add another C net, 194.19.2 with the same gateway as net .1. This new net cannot see the other net, so I need to setup a box to route between these 2 nets.. right? Do I need to setup a box with 2 NICS, one for each net? The way I prefer it, is to route between the nets, but stay with a single NIC. Is it enough to simply bind an IP address of the old net to the routing box's NIC, and it will then automatically forward packets? I know this may be a silly question, but I am little confused about it. I hope someone may give me a hint or two :) Christoffer Walther Unix Admin PROVENTUM
