Re: Networking Questions
Thanks Bob, This worked out perfectly. All I did was add the second nic. COnfigured it for the First IP in my block and added the Enable Gateway and boom I was off and surfing :) Rob G [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Bob Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Rob G [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 10, 2004 5:57 PM Subject: Re: Networking Questions On Saturday 10 April 2004 01:54 pm, Rob G Rob G [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I am new to the list, but I have tried researching the archives and couldn't find exactly what I am looking for and would like your opinion on how to do this: I have a 4Meg DSL connection with Multiple Static IPs. 69.63.33.### is my main IP that my router or System that does authentication will always get. 209.213.231.###/29 is my block of 8 other IP's that route to my main IP.

RE: Networking Questions
Hello Bryan Cassidy, You might save yourself some trouble by buying a very cheap ready-to-go appliance router like the NR041 for $32.99 from Buy.com: http://www.buy.com/retail/product_jump.asp?sku=10329936SearchEngine=yaSearchTerm=10329936Type=1103Category=Compdcaid=17194 I carry one to client sites as it's no bigger than a standard 4 port hub. (I build and use my own FreeBSD gateways at home.) I think you might prefer using a dedicated device until you're more comfortable with networking.
