Josh, We use quite a similar setup here at the Binary Bar. Difference is that all our machines are running linux. Since you have IP addresses for all your computers I think it should be quite straight forward. The linux box is your router. It's default route should be the gateway, which is your service providers machine. PPP should automagically determine the routing for this when it establishes the link. Your other machines need to have their routing pointed to the router by default. The router knows that local trafic goes through the ethernet card and stuff for the internet goes out the line. I think this will fix it for you, but I know from my own experience that you just need to check everything over and over until you work out why it isn't working the way you want. I guess it goes without saying that the linux howtos are absolutly essential reading, although you do need to be aware that the different distributions do things slightly different. -- Binary Bar - Australia's first free access internet bar & cafe. 243 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia. 10:30am - 11:00pm
