You are also use 192.168.1.10 as a gateway to get onto the 1/24 network which won't work (you can't use a machine on the network which you want to reach as a gateway). You want to be using 192.168.2.10 as a gateway to get onto the 1/24 network. Also, you can use unnumbered ppp. Just do this: On your home gateway's eth0 assign 192.168.2.10 and on your office's side, assign 192.168.1.10 to eth1. Then use unnumbered ppp on both sides and make sure that ip forwarding is enabled on the office gw. On your office side, you'll have pppd ... 192.168.1.10:192.168.2.10 and on your home side, you'll have pppd ... defaultroute : Of course, you probably have /etc/ppp/* with the pon/poff scripts in which case you need to add above to your /etc/ppp/peers/* scripts -- Regards Abraham QOTD: "I used to jog, but the ice kept bouncing out of my glass." ___________________________________________________ Abraham vd Merwe [ZR1BBQ] - Frogfoot Networks P.O.
