However, if its using Nat, it doesnt matter. It only gets you when the local PC has 10.0.0.something, and they have a modem dialing in on that PC and ALSO getting 10.0.0. something. You could just pick 10.0.1.something. -- ~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~ Jake Messinger, VP. ph:713-772-6690 Visit: portmasters.com AMS, Inc. fx:713-774-3498 advmed.com 8300 Bissonnet #400 jake@jakes.org disc.cba.uh.edu Houston, Texas 77074 http://jakes.org ICQ# 4403734 Adjunct Professor University of Houston, CBA jake@uh.edu ~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~ INVENTOR OF the _.,-*~''~*-,._ SQUIGGLES (c) 1978 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
