I was on Embarq before Centurylink took over and the service has gone down hill! I used trafshow(port) and found they are caching the web traffic :< (not to say anything about the 404 hijacking)As the other person stated you just use the bridge mode. You can either put both ip's on your nic or use a switch and put the ip addresses on their own server. Hope this helps DRX
