I too confess confusion. The reply question is, What are you trying to accomplish with your setup?
Is there a specific reason that you need the 5 systems to have valid Internet IP addresses? Depending on the services you could move all the systems to an internal network and port forward the specific network services you are using to the internal 192.168.0.x network behind the Linux box. To answer your specific question, all that 'needs' to be done is to add the appropriate destination routes into your router table on the system doing the NAT/routing. However, that seems to be a bad idea. I have one 'real' Internet IP address, but I port forward various services to different systems as I need to in my own network. -sp > -----Original Message----- > From: Ken Bloom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > I'm inventing some random numbers (they're not even valid IP > addresses) to explain the problem better > > The following computers are connected via hub to the DSL modem: > 201.123.321.12 > 201.123.321.13 > 201.123.321.14 > 201.123.321.15 > 201.123.321.16 (eth0) / 192.168.0.1 (eth1) > 192.168.0.2 > 192.168.0.3 > > What can be done so that the 201.123.321.* computers can see the > 192.168.0.* computers?
