Comcast business account? :-) You will want to look into virtual IP's and NAT or port forwarding, perhaps VLANs as well for the internal networking to create some sort of DMZ. It depends on what you are trying to set up or if you are trying to preserve an existing configuration. I'm using a mix of advanced outbound NAT, port forwarding and virtual IP's, works a treat. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
