your approach with two ethernet-cards looks reasonable. but you have to manage the routing on this particular machine. if the ip-address the provider gave you is in a different subnet, you are set and ready to go. if not, you have a problem which you can solve by either implementing complex routing or changing your internal addressspace. if it does not work with the two interfaces, try debugging with ping/traceroute and look for problems. maybe you should get in contact with local professionals to fix this issue. bye, Michael. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
