It is.... I have 3 possible assigned via DHCP by default here in Wichita, KS. My cable-modem (bridge-modem) is capable of forwarding around 20 ip's. The hardware setup is similar to xDSL (you can configure the cable-modem to handle 'n' ip's. I don't see an easy way of using more than one dhcp client on the same box w/o starting seperate instances of dhclient and jumping through major custom config hoops. In any case, it won't help any bandwidth if this is what he is wanting, the cap is on the line connection, not per ip address. The easy way (if the ip's are not changed "often") would be to grab an ip via dhcp, then set that interface static and set dhclient on a new interface to pull another ip (on a different NIC). This works, but runs into the multiple external interface config that is not easy by any means. The information Ray requested will be required to help in any way. -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! ------------------------------------------------------- -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
