 From what *I* understand this is impossible. It's not a matter of what 
IP you have, but knowing where the gateway is. As I said before, all 
traffic to anywhere outside the subnet the computer is on needs to go 
through a gateway, and the client needs to know what gateway to use. 
Thus a setting needs to be changed. This can be using DHCP or by manual 
changes, but something has to change on the client. I can't think of 
any simpler way to put it. IF you can get traffic to your m0n0wall, 
then you can think about getting it through.
