Just to see if I've understood you correctly: - The box you upgraded is a NAT gateway/proxy for a set of internal boxes, correct? - Does the upgraded box have full access to both internet and the internal network? - Can the internal boxes communicate with the gateway box? - The internal boxes cannot reach the internet (e.g. Google), right? Does that pretty much sum it up? Cheers, M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
