I will just have to stay late and give some personal time. Can someone tell me what the modules bonding.o is for?

The bit about combining the bandwidths seems to have significant strings attached, and if you oversell the result then your boss is going to be doubly upset about the time that will be required for you to learn what doesn't work. > Because of the situation, I have to prove each step so that my > boss will let me proceed. > > DSL router crossover > uses dhcp to eth1 192.168.1.254 cable > give out >----> hub >-----------LRP >------------>laptop > 192.168.1.xxx eth0 192.168.1.144 manual configure > DSL router IP,DNS,and Gateway > IP is 192.168.1.1 I think you have some basic misunderstandings of TCP happening here. To get from the DSL router to the laptop, a packet must go to 192.168.1.254 first. Most cheap masqing dsl routers do not allow you to add routes to their configurations like this... they expect all 253 of the host addresses to be on the same LAN. Setting up the LRP to work in this configuration involves proxy-arp or transparent bridging, both of which require quite different configurations than a box sitting in the DSL router's position would use. Thus, the two positions are not interchangeable by any stretch of the imagination.... getting it to work in one position will prove almost nothing about how LRP would behave in the other position. And since Eigerstein is easy to configure for the DSL modem's job, and Charles is only now getting fill-in-the-blank scripts to handle the other positions tasks set up, you will have to customize quite a bit to get your "test" configuration to work... and why bother? Read up on proxy-arp and transparent bridging vs. ip routing, so you can explain this fact to your boss. Then triple-check your configuration and do an in-place swapout at a low priority time (late evening?) so you can tolerate a little downtime. If you have no low priority time, then the safest thing to do is to get another DSL connection with the same type of DSL router to practice the transition with.
