If you can set up internet sharing your outgoing nic, which should be DHCP, and surf from the host then you're fine. As for the internal network if you used the wizard after you assigned the fixed IP to the network you're going to run into a problem. For some reason the wizard wants to use 192.168.1.xxx. Check your scripts :) Also, you will either need to manually assign IP's to every other NIC on the network or use DHCP server and assign them that way. I'd recommend DHCP. Have fun! ttfn John
