OK - my configuration is different. I route everything through my Linux gateway, and then onto the DSL router, which means that I can do this (as all packets hit the internal interface on my linux box). In your case, is it possible to add a static route on the netgear box to point to your mail server? This would mean that the internal addresses would be routed correctly, but it may affect the external access (depending on whether the NATing or routing takes priority). -- Andrew Shipton ------------------------------------------------------------ "It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a genuine medical need for coffee to wait in line behind people who apparently view it as some kind of recreational activity." -- Dave Barry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
