So put it between the direcpath and the linksys. You'll need the openwrt box to run a dhcp server to supply the linksys with an IP on it's external facing interface. And so you'll need a network between the two. You could use 192.168.2.0/24, or a 10.0.0.0/whatever or any of the rfc1918 networks. And you'll need the openwrt to nat, since you're using a rfc1918 network. And you'll ether have to run a dns server on the openwrt box or figure out how to pass the openwrt box's dns servers on to the openwrt's dhcp clients. The former is probably easier, but take your pick. Karl <[email protected]> Free Software: "You don't pay back, you pay forward." -- Robert A.
