What you are describing here sounds like network address translation (NAT) using masquerading. I have not done this for a while, but the file /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs/Masquerading-Simple-HOWTO proved useful once I found it on my Slackware system. As I recall, the systems must be able to communicate with each other first before NAT will work (kind of follows if a connection to the outside world is to be established). The examples in the file I specified above are pretty basic, and as you get more involved with firewalling, you may want to do more with iptables. If you do not have access to the file I mentioned above, let me know, and I can put it on my web site. Keep plugging away at it--NAT and masquerading were pretty hard for me to figure out at first, but I did eventually get the mess working. Let me know if I can provide any more help. HTH and have a _great_ day. On Tue, Aug 10, 2004 at 12:06:28PM -0500, Gregory Nowak wrote: > . . . > Ok, now that I've described all my problems, let me describe what it > is that I want out of ipip.
