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. _______________________ Booth Martin boothm@earth.goddard.edu http://www.spy.net/~booth _______________________ Joe Chiasson <jd.chiasson@ns.sympatico.ca> Sent by: owner-midrange-l@midrange.com 01/06/2000 07:31 PM Please respond to MIDRANGE-L To: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com cc: 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?
