I for internet, > the other for the Manufacturer apps ? Yes. You have one default route (0.0.0.0/0) go to the Internet router. (Your dialup link). Then, you set up another (presumably static) route to send 10.0.0.0/8 to the internal LAN gateway. > 2. Are 10.x.x.x non-routable ? IE, is Mega Manufacturer > already using non-routable ips for their mega network ? Yes, according to RFC1918. Check this with your ISP, though (i.e., remove all static LAN routes for 10.0.0.0/8 and try some traceroutes). Some ISPs incorrectly configure their hardware to pass traffic from private subnets. Some use 10.0.0.0/8 (or one of the other private ranges) for internal routers, etc. > BTW, Admin right to the NT Server are not available.
