??? I'm on an ADSL ISP, and I have a dynamic IP address to the outside world. For even ,ore fun, I'm behind two layers of NAT. Yet I still manage to ssh in daily to a remote machine to collect my email (including this list). Here's my setup... Dynamic publicly 192.168.1.2/ routable IP address 255.255.255.248 v<assigned by my ISP v<external address v v v ____________ v __________________ v | | v| | =< ADSL modem >=======< Netgear Router | |____________|^ | Internal address | ^ | 192.168.1.254/ | 192.168.1.1/ ^ | 255.255.255.248 | 255.255.255.248 ^ |_ ___ ___ ___ | internal address>^ || || || || || || || || ___________________|| || | | || | Linux 192.168.1.249 | || | mask 255.255.255.248| || |_____________________| || || ___________________|| | | | Linux 192.168.1.250 | | mask 255.255.255.248| |_____________________| The ADSL modem has internal address 192.168.1.1 mask 255.255.255.248. I could get away with netmask 255.255.255.252. I set the router's "external/WAN" address as 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.248 (netmask 255.255.255.252 would also work here.) I also set the router's external default gateway route to 192.168.1.1 (i.e. the modem's internal address). Apparently, the primary rule with double-NATting is not to overlap IP address ranges. So I decided to select the block defined by 192.168.1.248 netmask 255.255.255.248 (same as 192.168.1.248/29). The allocations I use are... 192.168.1.248 base address (not supposed to have a machine here) 192.168.1.249 \ 192.168.1.250 \ are for up to 4 machines to hook 192.168.1.251 / up to the 4 ports on the router 192.168.1.252 / 192.168.1.253 I haven't quite figured out a use for this address 192.168.1.254 The internal (LAN side) address used by the router. This follows the default convention for router address. 192.168.1.255 The broadcast address used by the router (syslog output). This follows the default convention for broadcast address. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm not repeating myself; I'm an X Window user, I'm an ex-Windows user -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
