Please clarify your description of the network. It seems that things are a little obscure. Where is the Internet in this picture? Inferring from your somewhat confused description, I take it that network A connects to your Japanese client and routes to the Internet from there, and has a live IP address. Network B is your Philippine-based intranet that is itself connected to the Internet. Feel free to correct my inferences if I'm wrong, it's the way I understand how things work. > 1. is NAT the way to solve this issue? > If my inference is correct, no. You *can* use NAT to do it, but you probably shouldn't, not unless you want the whole Internet between Japan and you to see everything you do. The proper way to do this would be to build a VPN tunnel between Network A and Network B, which are both private subnets and have distinct network addresses (if the latter assumption is not true, things are dicey). -- Democracy needs citizens, not consumers. When people are merely consumers of politics, they are more easily manipulated. And in our time conformism is stronger than in the past. http://stormwyrm.blogspot.com/ -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List plug@lists.q-linux.com (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
