I tried this and gave up. Now using NAT behind a firewall. Also saved a
bit of cost on assigned IP addresses by having only 5 instead of 64. Not
enough to pay for firewall but the extra security is very nice. Not using
DHCP either, just assigned each PC an IP in the non-routable 192.168....
range. We'll never run out.

Ok all you networking guru's out there, I can use a little help.

I run MS BackOffice 4.5 and tcp/ip (not DHCP) I am at my max of available IP
address's for my network. I got today an addition 32 IP's routed to our
company and cant seem to get it working right. The IP's aren't all 64 in a
row, its 2 different blocks of 32 and the subnet mask (from QWest) is the
same. It works enough to log into the network, but something isn't right.
I am unable to ping the gateway and unable to get out on the internet on
these new IP's. I can do all the networking I want within the company but
cant reach the gateway to get out onto the internet.

Any suggestions??? Thanks in advance

What are the two blocks, and the mask they told you to use? If they're not
contiguous, you're gonna have some real headaches getting it all to work.

Also, having your client PCs directly exposed to the Internet is considered
a big security risk these days. Ever consider using NAT to get out to the
'net?
