Install another NIC card in box1 ($30). Make box1 run ipchains (or iptables if kernel 2.4+). http://heaven.hamline.edu/LDP/HOWTO/IPCHAINS-HOWTO.html Setup IP masquarding. http://members.home.net/ipmasq/ If you have some services running on box2 (which is now a non-routable IP) you can do port forwarding. http://howto.real-time.com/realtime/PortForwarding/tclugpres/ Or, find a nice ISP and get DSL. :-) -- Bob Tanner <tanner at real-time.com> | Phone : (612)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org | Fax : (612)943-8500 Key fingerprint = 6C E9 51 4F D5 3E 4C 66 62 A9 10 E5 35 85 39 D9 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
