Are you saying the ISP assigns 3 addresses? Normally, people have computers behind firewalls (yes, even Linux computers) and use address translation, so that addresses can be assigned locally. This would be the preferred way, if you're not placing the NFS servers directly on the internet. If you must have the computers directly connected to the internet, you'll have to address them by host name. In some cases, such as with my cable ISP, the host name is static. However, if your host names are not, you'll have to use one of the dynamic DNS services. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
