You would think, but not even on Windows will that work. You see you need to
also login to their server in order to connect your IP to the outside world.
You can only login from one IP at a time. However if I can masquerade through
the logged in Linux box this would not be a problem. They will authorize the
second IP for me. They were nice enough to offer that.. If I pay for two
accounts....

Both are ISA, 3c509 is Pnp, Intel is not. I had the Intel on Linux befor so I
know it works. I have just never put both in the same machine at the same
time
before.
So back to my original question though.. Is it not possible to masquerade from
an IP on a net through a gateway on the net through to another gateway on that
same net? And will the two cards fix it? I did include the module for the
EtherExpress when I compiled 2.2.3 tonight so I won't have to redo it just in
case it does need the other NIC. This system has been sooo stable to this
point though so I'm leary to mees with hardware if I don't have to. Although
this shoudl be minor.
