Then you can have as many C's or B's as you want. > You can even have an A :) I have a work around now...I have a dynamic IP dialin to my ISP from my fbsd gateway machine and so I have changed all the LAN NIC IPs to the 192.168.0.0 c block. I can now go out from any machine via the gateway box through the ISP to my remote server (and its LAN) which is a static IP system (same class c block I originally had my problem gateway LAN configured as) > If you provide more specifics on the topology we can provide > more concrete advice. Here is the set up..... Basically I want both my LANS to connect via ISP (at the moment) mickey (192.168.0.s) gatewaybsd(192.168.0.x).....more boxes ..... | .................... ................... |.......... | ISP--- rest of Internet | My remote Server bsd box (xx.xx.xx.xx) | LAN machines(xx.xx.xx.yy)___ | ____ LAN machines(more) Eventually I wish to set up My remote Server bsd box to accept a static IP dialin from my "gateway" LAN directly...not via ISP But that's a lot of homework later! Hope you can help...I am not in love with the 192.168.0.x solution because I have the class c block & I eventually want to direct dial in. Thanks
