I have placed "/sbin/shorewall restart" in a file in the ip-up.d directory. It still seems to be unreliable, though. I'd really like it if the device could stick around. > Are you sure your modem can't take on it's wan side the 1st public ip > address, and then attributing on the lan side one of the public ip > addresses from the public range ? Yes, I'm sure. If I activate the modem's built-in PPPoE, it will terminate the PPP protocol within the modem. The modem does have an option to enable transparent bridging, but unfortunately, it only forwards a single IP address (the address allocated by PPP), and drops traffic intended for all other IP addresses. My ISP is AT&T DSL, and their so-called "static" IP addresses are really an abuse of the PPP and PPPoE specifications. The PPP protocol is only completed for a single IP address, and the other addresses are just passed through the same link, so unless the administrator manually adds them (via alias devices in Linux, for example), they will be unusable. It's a shame that a PPP negotiation session can't be done for each IP address in parallel. Josh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
