In the original post, all that was wanted iirc was to host ports 21 and 80 over one interface (dsl?) and then run all surf-stuff and other misc over the cable modem... I brought up the possibility of utilizing (maximizing, that is) both through these advanced methods. I remember seeing some info's specifically directed at this subject in the HOWTO's on linuxdoc.org. Modem HOWTO explains a bit of how to use two modems, ahh, here I was thinking of: http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO.html Section 10 describes how to set up multiple connections between two LAN's; the configuration must exist at *both* ends... This next link explains the same thing for Cisco's EBGP: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ics/icsbgp4.htm#xtocid204396 Well, that's not so great for our uses! But aside from linuxdoc and that advanced networking HOWTO, please don't forget Rusty's: http://netfilter.samba.org/unreliable-guides/ (not for children!) cheers Ben -- -- Ben Barrett Software & Systems Engineer counterclaim Phone: 541.484.9235 Fax: 541.484.9193
