If your IP addy's start with 23.xxx.xxx.xxx, then those are routable. I took a look last night to figure out what the other non-routable address scheme was I couldn't remember and it was 172.16.xxx.xxx, so, basically, three non-routable schemes:
10.xxx.xxx.xxx 172.16.xxx.xxx 192.168.xxx.xxx Now if you have 23.xxx.xxx.xxx addresses, then your ISP has no doubt given you a block of addresses to use. You could check with them to see which addresses they are. If you can have up to four machines, then they've given you four addresses. If you just change one of the numbers on one of your other Macs a little and try to use that for a manual IP for your 3400, if it's out of your given block, your ISP may drop your service until you call and straighten it out. If you want to try a static (manual) IP on the 3400, I'd call them first. So it sounds like your ISP provided you with the router and all... Pretty neat. I don't know any ISP's around here that do that for home accounts. Usually they just give you 1 routable IP address. Of course, then you just go out and buy a router, link that to the routable IP and run non-routable IP's to all your home PC's. You only have four ports on the router, but that won't keep you from cascading a hub onto it ;-) I run 8 PC's at once from my connection at home through a Linksys Router w/ 4 port switch and a cascaded Bay Networks 8 port hub ;-) Cheers, Sionnach __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
