Thank you Sven for your consideration. All the machines, we have, are running with Debian GNU/Linux 2.6.x. The laptop we are going to move,in remote location, has /etc/network/interface file that looks like the following:
auto lo eth0 ppp0 iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.xx netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.xx iface ppp0 inet ppp provider yyy 'network/interfaces' file for our gateway looks like the following: auto lo eth0 eth1 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.xx netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.xx iface eth1 inet static address 209.87.243.xxx netmask 255.255.255.224 gateway 209.87.243.xxx broadcast 209.87.243.xxx iface ppp0 inet ppp provider xxx-dialup We connect to the gateway by "ssh gateway" then to the remote laptop in order to have access to other remote machines. Please let me know if this information is enough to get help. I really appreciate your time and help.

Please direct your questions at debian-user@lists.debian.org, debian-project is about the further development of the Debian project itself rather than technical issues with the use of Debian on your machines. > > However, to address your problem, I don't really understand your problem. Are you using Debian on the routers you talked about or on the machines connected to the given LAN? If the later is the case, you only have to check which providers are supported by the router you intend to move. If your question is about routers running Debian, there would be some details needed to actually answer your question: > How do the two routers involved connect to each other? > Do they have a common network on the "outside" of their respective LANs?
