I believe that what you are talking about is referred to as IP Aliasing. This allows one to have multiple IP addresses (in different network address spaces) assigned to the same NIC. I have not done this personally but I there is a mini-HOWTO that describes this. Perhaps you should look there or do a web search on IP Aliasing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Witt Raytheon Company Network Technology and Systems Group 1901 West Malvern Ave (714) 732-0161 Fullerton, CA 92834
