I don't understand this part. What is this router, exactly? Do you have other computers on a local area network with which you would like to use the Internet? If so, you can have your Linux box work as a router. > I've found so far only addresses nets with a whole range of IP addresses, > but I only have _one static IP_. If you want multiple computers to share a single IP address then you need to use IP masquerading (or just use a traditional proxy configuration). Read the IP Masquerading mini-howto. And be forewarned: you may not be able to get the slink ipmasq package to work; I found it much better to configure IP masquerading by hand. -- Greg Wooledge | Distributed.NET http://www.distributed.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | because a CPU is a terrible thing to waste. http://www.kellnet.com/wooledge/ |
