No, unless you have two network cards in the PC and setup routing there with other machines connecting to the switch using the "routed" network. In this case you will have two cables to the switch from the routing machine. What I meant was that you could get "raw" access to the bridged modem and do the PPP login on any one client machine and ONLY that machine will have Internet access. -- Kind Regards AndrewM Andrew McGlashan Broadband Solutions now including VoIP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
