Hi all; I have been sort of following the discussion on NATD. Some time in the near future I will have to do what everyone seems to be struggling with right now. Is there some way that a person can do a ppp tunnel to the server that does all the internet stuff? I suppose anything incoming would be a problem either way whether it is NAT or PPP :( Short of hacking into the ISP and setting multiple IP addresses for all our local machines is there any other way? What about this for complex-al-la complex ideas? lan ===>ISP===>other box on the outside Let's say I have control of a box on the outside with a domain I own. Would it be possible to set up some kind of ppp tunnel all the way through. That way I could set up all my machines box1.apollo.ca box2.apollo.ca etc. Each would have its own IP on the "other box on the outside" which just gets forwarded down the ppp pipe until it finally gets to the machine we want. I know the theory works... What do the practically-experienced people have to say? -Mike
