How are you allocating your addresses on the two networks at the moment ? If it's a system administrator handing out static addresses and recording who's got what, then tell the person on the LAN to go to the sysadmin and ask for an unused address. If it's a DHCP server handing out addresses on request, try setting up a DHCRELAY (there's another thread going in this mailing list at the moment about getting that working with netfilter) so pass addresses from one network to the other. However, I still want to ask: why does someone on eth1 want an IP address which belongs on eth0 ?
