Hello, I have a strange question, right now I have a firewall box at home and behind it is my web, mail and FTP server. Plus the rest of my computers and my wife's PC. I got a PS2 for Christmas ... I know I will never grow up really :) So I want to play online but it uses strange ports and they do not seem to be listed anywhere. Plus I can not host any games if I am behind a firewall unless I forward connections on ports about 1024 to the PS2 IP which could break FTP and other things. So my ISP provides a second IP free of charge :0 so I have them provide me with one. So now I can plug two PC's into a HUB and the cable modem into the HUB and each PC gets it's own IP via DHCP. I would like to have my firewall get both IP's then I would be able to have some control as to what packets go to and from the PC also I can do some bandwidth monitoring. I have used virtual IP's on linux boxes before with no problems but can I have a box get both IP's via DHCP ??? Right now it gets one: /sbin/dhcpcd -t 60 -h CO -d eth0 I tried to get a second one by: /sbin/dhcpcd -t 60 -h CO -d eth0:1 But it did not work :( .. any ideas ??? do I need to fact another MAC address ???? now I am thinking -- Hand over the Slackware CD's and back AWAY from the computer, your geek rights have been revoked !!!
