Can you give me an example by possibly sending out netstat -r and ifconfig -a i have a 255.255.255.192 maybye I want to have like 8 computers on the segment between firewall and router (unprotected) and the others 56 on the second segment (protected), I don't understand why I am so confused as to how to do this, it is kind of nonstandard --- someone mentioned using rfc 1918 addresses for the firewall interface and router but I am pretty sure my router must use a "real" ip.
