Would this be a place to provide your own DNS and use a gateway for your 
networks? 

So far as your own network is concerned, can you change your mask and 
increase the number of addresses available?  A netmask of 255.255.255.0 
provides 256 addresses but a mask of 255.255.0.0 provides 256 sets of 256 
addresses. 

Also, it might be useful to take the time to name all locations and then 
use a DNS so you can change IP addresses without wild disruptions.  For 
example, if your naming schema for servers is famous towns then the AS/400 
could be named  Chelsea and everyone would soon learn to look for Chelsea. 
 If you decided to change the IP addresses a simple change in the DNS is 
all it takes.

        Subject:        Tcp/ip Routeing?

We recently hooked up with A Cisco 675 router for a DSL connection. For my 
PCs to
see the AS400 and get on the web I had to assign an ip address, 
142.176.xxx.xxx,
to the NIC that is in the same subnet as the router and a host defined on 
the
AS400. My question is that the IP addresses have run out in the subnet, is 
there
a way to have the other PC, using the old LAN IP scheme, 196.146.xx.xx, to 
find
the AS400 on the original host then route back out the ethernet card on 
the
142..176.xxx.xxx to find the router for internet access. Kind of like a 
NAT or
something?
Any help appreciated, or am I dreaming again?
