Right, there is no option for unnumbered. > Of course, I can change all the configurations on the CPE's (adding a > transfer-net on the WAN-IF, setting new default route, etc..) but this is a > lot of work and must be done on all CPE's on the same time, which doesn't > make the job easier :-) I don't have much experience with the Cellpipe, but if you have it set for unnumbered, it probably won't know or care that you have an IP address at the other end of the interface. Presumably, they are using the WAN interface as their default gateway. So I would suggest: 1. Leave the Cellpipe interfaces unnumbered, and they should continue to send their outbound traffic out the WAN (ADSL) port. 2. On your HARP interfaces configure the PVC interfaces with RFC1918 (private) addresses. 3. For the routes, specify the PVC interface instead of the IP address: eg, route add -net 223.255.255.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 -iface atm1 If that doesn't work, then use the remote private address: eg, route add -net 223.255.255.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 192.168.200.2 I believe this should work for you. If not, there might be a way to get what you want with a small change to the HARP code. All the best, -Richard ------------------------------------------- Richard Hodges | Matriplex, inc.
