Hi there... I'll try to make this short but detailed...:) We have two lans right now which we need to hook together. Currently LAN #1 is our internal lan which has a full class C (no subnetting YET). We need to break off 5 IP addresses from our class C (for easyness we are going to take 8 of them due to overheads of subnetting). This new subnet will range from .248 to .255 in range which is fine (we've moved everything in this range that was in use). Here come the questions..:) On the remote network we are using the following: Server IP Address .249 Server Gateway Address .53 (the server at our end) Netmask 255.255.255.248 Workstation IP's .250,.251,.252,.253 respecitively On the workstations, same netmask but gateway of 204.101.15.249 (make sense?) On our local server we are using the following: Server IP Address .53 Netmask 255.255.255.0 Workstation IP's range from .1 (Cisco) right up to .225 currently in use Gateway .1 When we changed our netmask on the local server to 255.255.255.248 the only thing it will see is the remote network (which by the way is connected via ISDN). Currently this whole setup is being done on Windows NT but we are considering doing this on FreeBSD (my personal preference). Which brings me to another quick question.... the reason for going to NT currently is that the workstations need to run Wordperfect Suite and print to a LaserJet 6L (connected to server). The whole login mechanism is done via a remote Radius server (on our local LAN). Therefore we've added RRAS for NT which allows Radius authentication for logins. As you can see this whole thing is a tad bit complicated. I've posted numerous messages to different mailing lists and have yet to find a solution yet I know on the other hand it's really not that complicated (at least on paper...heehehe..). I know there are errors in the above settings and need some guidance. Our router is managed by Bell Global (our upstream provider) and they have said they can add static routes to our Cisco router which will fix our local netmask problems (we don't want to adjust our local netmask values). This whole project is running overdue and I"m lost (I think I've been staring at the computer screen too long heehehee...)
