If so let me know I am quite > seasoned at "supernetting" i don;t think so derek, the best way to describe it is that i have one class c addr and i wnat to use this to setup a 'wan' with just this one addr space. problem being that thier are 3 (at teh moment) locations that are gepgraphically disperced and can only be reached by ppp over telephone lines. to tie this together i ned to setup several bridges over which teh remote network segments would communicate. at least this is how i see it from what i've managed to understand about the diferences between ethernet 'bridges' and 'routers'. a class c would loose far too much if it were to be subneted. thought the cdir (rfc1878) seems to have some appeal .. but it 'frightens' me a bit, i suppose because i don;t understand it. regards and thanks for your reply. jonathan -- =============================================================================== Jonathan Michaels PO Box 144, Rosebery, NSW 1445 Australia ===========================================================<jon@caamora.com.au> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
