So how do I tell my ISP that the extra IP's they are going to allocate to me all need to point to the same NIC? Will they be able to do that? I mean, isn't there only one unique MAC address for every NIC card? Do they just route all frames destined for any one of the IP addresses they assign me to the same MAC or something?

I'll have to check out ISCS and see what it's all about. Thanks for your help, John. Sincerely, Kevin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!
