As usual any help muchly appreciated! Do you have only a single IP address assigned by your ISP? If you must have multiple nodes gaining access at once, you'll probably need a partial Class C subnet (perhaps 16 nodes). Then each computer on your local network can have its own valid IP address. If the IP address you cited above is the only 'real' address you have, it is the only address your ISP will recognize and allow to connect to the Internet. In that case, your local gateway machine will have to perform address translation, and each of your subnet nodes will have to be translated to and from your only valid IP address. -- Ken Are you interested in | byte-sized education | http://www.play-hookey.com over the Internet? |
