Maybe the ISP meant that you should use 192.168.254.2 for the NIC that is connected to
your ISP and an address of your own LAN for the NIC connected to your own LAN, like
192.168.10.42 or something. What you use on your lan and the NIC on STN that is
connected to your LAN is up to you. The NAT capabilities of STN hides your LAN from
your ISP. The world outside the firewall will only see the IP adress of the
firewall-NIC connected to your ISP.
There are some adresses that are reserverd for "hidden" networks and 192.168.x.x is
such adresses. So if your ISP says that the 192.168.254.2 should be used for your NIC
connected to your ISP there is another firewall somewhere before entering the "real"
internet.
Exactly what did your ISP tell you and is your own LAN a single LAN or does it include
routers to other LANs?

Subject: [ShareTheNet] Which IP addresses
My ISP gave me an IP address to use ...192.168.254.2 . My client PC's are meant to
go from 192.168.254.2 to 192.168.254.253. However my client PC 's have existing IP
addresses on my LAN of the 192.168.10 variety. I can only ping my STN box from a
client when I change to the ISP's address but then I can't telnet to my As400 on my
LAN.
My STN box is running but I can't access it from my LAN .
Does anyone know how to get around this problem....
Regards
Philip
