Yes! that's exactly my case! Connect to the ISP via DHCP-assigned IP address, and needs another IP for the Internet interface - both occur on the same interface! However, my case differ from the example in which I can only assign the Ethernet interface a real IP using DHCP, and My 2610 won't allow DHCP+secondary IP either.
Thanks anyway for your input. I also quite feel that it is impossible. hktco ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lupi, Guy" To: "'hktco'" ; Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 9:37 AM Subject: RE: how to share 1 Ethernet interface. possible? [7:42487] There is a way to do this, but it is shady. I didn't think I would ever see a reason to use this, but your situation is described exactly in this document. If you are like most cable/dsl customers you have a bridge in your house, and your address probably doesn't change all that often. I believe a friend said his only changes once every 3 months. You would have to modify your config when your address changed, but this would work. Your probably better off buying a Linksys for 100 dollars. Unfortunately I don't believe you can assign a secondary address when you have specified that the interface uses dhcp, at least not on any of my routers. http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/556/nat-on-stick.html ~-----Original Message----- ~From: hktco [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] ~Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 8:46 PM ~To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~Subject: how to share 1 Ethernet interface. possible?
