You could always set up an IPv6 subnet, tunneled via Hurricane Electric or SixXS. You'd be guaranteed that the subnet the tunnel broker assigns to you won't conflict with your company's subnets. On Wed, Sep 10, 2014 at 4:04 PM, Stephen Adler ad...@stephenadler.com wrote: Guys, I'm setting

If you are running your own firewall you could also NAT to the corporate network if you can not get a specific subnet. On Sep 10, 2014 4:28 PM, Chuck Anderson c...@wpi.edu wrote: On Wed, Sep 10, 2014 at 04:04:12PM -0400, Stephen Adler wrote: Guys, I'm setting up a small network at work
