I believe that there is, but I think it's easier if you make your existing box a gateway for the one you're installing to. Then you can access the Debian ftp servers transparently. You'll need to play with ipchains/iptables (2.2/2.4) on the gateway box to set up the forwarding though. Mike -- Michael P. Soulier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.
