Assuming that these are IP routers and not ethernet switches, the arp tables aren't particularly relevent. If the main router is running 'routed' or some other RIP routing daemon, all you need to do is run a similar daemon and your new subnet route will be propagated. Alternatively, or essentially if you are using unregistered IP, you could use 'natd' on 'MyRouter' to masquerade the internal addresses onto the external interface. The handbook pages on natd make it very easy to set up. Good luck Robin. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robin Melville, Addiction Information Services Nottingham Alcohol & Drug Team Tel: +44 (0)115 952 9478 Fax: +44 (0)115 952 9421 work: robmel@nadt.org.uk home: robmel@innotts.co.uk Pages: http://www.innotts.co.uk/~robmel (home page) http://www.innotts.co.uk/nadt (substance misuse pages) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
