hi everyone;
I have dynamic(DHCP) Uswest DSL which issues private(10.0.0.2) IP. Is it possible to masquarde with this local IP address? Anyone who tried it? I have small home network with 675 external router connected to only one machine.
thanks
Yep, I do it here. I have a small internal network masq'd through my SuSE box. It's connected to an Alcatel 1000 ADSL modem provided by my ISP. I get a regular IP address here instead of local numbering like the 10.*.*.* that you mention. You should still be ok though just number your internal net in the 192.168.*.* range also reserved for private nets. I do use dhcpcd instead of the other client and every now and then (like once every two months) it doesn't refresh the address like it should, but in those cases I just force it to and I'm back in business. For the most part it is trouble free. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darren R.
