Thank you San for your advice. Last night only I was able to deal with the problem of routing (out on business :-() and your proposed solution and now I'am able to ping whatever address on the internet from my client, BUT... the client is unable to resolve the names (I can ping 195.110.96.65 but not www.dada.it). What should I do?
