- We just got out internet connection so we may connect our network to
- the internet (via dialup). Unfortunatly (and not surprisingly) our
- current IP address structure is not compatible:
-
-
- 89.x.x.x
-
- | |i
- o | |n
- u | 192.232.24.x _____ _____ |t
- r |----[router]-------------[ppp]--/\/\/--[ppp]----|e
- | /modem\ /modem\ |r
- n | ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ |n
- e | |e
- t | |t
- w |
- o |
- r |
- k |
- |

- Given the configuration above, we would like to attach other machines
- we have on "our network" to the internet but are not looking forward
- to the hassles of changing all of our ip addresses to suit the
- internet requirements. Is there some sort of gateway/router that
- would convert packets such as 89.x.x.x to 192.232.24.y given a
- table? Is this at least concievable given that the masks are so much
- different? If anyone has a solution, please feel free to email me.
- It would be best if this can be done via a PC program (KA9Q is the
- router for above) however, we do have suns at our disposal to some
- extent.
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Jon
