. Second address (added in regedit) 192.168.200.106

Now that's funny, see I thought about that too and figured, fine I'll just
reverse the ips and make the internet ip first in regedit. However I did
that and guess what... none of the rfc1918 addresses routed correctly and
they are all on the same network. For the life of me I couldn't figure
out why...accept for the same reason you mentioned, the packets are being
sent out throught rfc1918 address but with a header from the internet
broadcastable address so they don't get back. Rackin phrackin damn
Winblows, if they could actually implement something correctly once in a
while maybe things would work.

I'm thinking you are right here maybe what I need is a simple proxy
solution on an NT wrsk that will just forward the packets for the stupid
winblows machines as I believe NT handle's ip aliasing correctly (could be
wrong tho). Of course *hint hint* if the beta ComOS for the OR-U wasn't
closed anymore my problems would be solved! <g>
