You might want to use the NETMAP target for this : http://www.netfilter.org/patch-o-matic/pom-base.html#pom-base-NETMAP (Yes : if you don't have this module already, you have to patch and compile your own kernel and iptables.) > In a few words I want every single workstation to have its > own static ip.. > A friend of mine told to that I have to use POSTROUTING and PREROUTING > and here is that I confused... > Anyone can help me / tell me what exactly have to do to make > this work ? There is an example in the above url. But, if you are confused by this then I think you also want to read up in Oskars tutorial... http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html Gr, Rob
