Hi Chris,

Thanks for the quick reply, I had thought about this because someone 
done something similar and they had to split their IP range in half to 
do it, as you suggested, I was hoping to use all the addresses ;-)

Do you think there is a way of forgetting about the OPT interface and 
use the LAN for my network by turning off NAT and connecting computers 
with public IP's to this interface. I would lose my office NAT'd network 
but it'd be worth it !! who knows I may get a NAT'd network up on an OPT 
interface ;-)


Cheers, James...
