multiple IPs, dialup connection

erm.... i'm not sure but you might have to set a route in win2k that says that the dialup device is a route to the internet.

Again... in linux that would be "route add default gw dev ppp0"

Hum,

bit confused why do you need live ip addresses they cost money!

Why not reserved ip addresses e.g. 192.168.0.X etc set statically with the default gateway of the Linux box set to the Windowz machine - The wan side of the dialup adapter will have a live address assigned by your ISP (and assuming that the modem is attached to the Windowz box) set default route of the Windowz box to be the dialup adapter.

Alternativley trash the Windowz box and put Smoothwall on the machine and do the job securely and safely. I'm assuming you have a hub / switch in there somewhere forming a little network?

I'm not really doing this anymore, but i'm still intrested in knowing how. Lets say for example that I have a MUD (for those who don't know, it's a small text game) running on my linux box. I would use the windows box (because it's dialup and i'm cheap and can't buy a better modem) to get onto the internet. If someone were to try to connect they'd be trying to access port X on this machine, and not on the linux one. If it had it's own the windows box should route all traffic addressed to the linux box to the linux box.

Or maybe I want to connect to a MUD but it only allows 1 player per ip address, and I have a friend over who also wants to play. It'd be no problem.

just curious, i'm sure it's possible. just dont know how.

flap:
The simple answer is you can't. The number of IP addresses you can use is up to your ISP; it's not something you can 'configure' locally.

Stryker:
Then suppose I called them up and asked them for it. They say yes. Then what? I can't simply make a gateway, as it'd have a local address.
