Using recycled bits, Kenneth Stephen said: % Kurt, % % If the private network is built with ip-addresses which have been % set aside for non-internet uses (aka private networks) such as the 10.* or % teh 192.168.* ip addresses, none of the packets coming from those machines % will make it onto the internet. All such packets will be rejected by the % hardware that runs the internet. To get around this, one needs to use % ip-masquerading. Quite so. I wrote the original message when I was just home from the hospital after surgery, so wasn't thinking too clearly. IP Masqruerading is the solution here, and it's a very viable solution at that. Thanks for correcting me. -- Kurt Wall Informix on Linux FAQ - http://www.xmission.com/~kwall/iolfaq.html Spanish Translation - http://www.xmission.com/~kwall/iolfaqsp.html
