You would literally be putting the modem in the server, and configuring that for connecting to your ISP. Then you need to set up the server to use IP masquerading; this is the Linux equivalent of NAT. Once all done, you simply tell the workstation that the server is it's default gateway; the server takes care of the rest. > Can it be done transparently for applications? Once the workstation is configured correctly, applications won't know the difference. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
