I agree, but Richard, (and this is just a request from a confused participant) please take a moment to pare down your reply and then insert your message where it makes some sense, don't just blob it on top and further confuse things. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Hey guys... it would help if you trim your posts so there isn't so much in each message. By correct gateway I think in this case it would be the inward facing address of pc1 (192.168.2.43) so on router2 you would set the gw to that address. And on pc2 the gw would be 192.168.2.1. That is unless router2 is just a WAP (wireless access point). But I'm not sure I understand all of this. It might be good to include the make of the routers (even model number might matter). Excuse me if this info is already in these monster size messages somewhere but: If you redo the diagram please include this information: make and model of router2 What OS is running on pc1 and pc2 Annotate in one line what gateways are set at the various points. The adsl router make and model may not matter too much. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
