The best way would be to do something like ifconfig ep0 inet 204.156.12.156 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias , since you have no guarantees that the remote system has a route back to your real IP address. With an aliased IP, the remote system should realize it's talking to a machine on the same subnet. Just make sure the ip address you pick isn't already in use. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
