From: Rich McCabe [EMAIL PROTECTED] The eth0 card is configured as 192.168.1.1 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 OK, it sounds like your router is configured to be on a different network. Assuming that your eth0 card is the one that's connected to the router, set its IP to 10.0.0.x, where

Actually, I'm told that AOL *will* allow you to connect to their service through another ISP so that's not entirely accurate...however, I think you're correct that they still have to have the AOL software, at least for mail, etc... - Original Message - From: Jason Riesa [EMAIL

Thanks Dan and Axalon, I will give that a try in the morning. And Dan the Cisco is plugged directly into the hub and I will be sending this E Mail with it. It works OK but I want to use IP masquerading on the Linux box and have everything go through it. Maybe not needed, but my experience so far
