I have external IP's. There is no NAT from my provider. Right now I am NAT'ing one of those IP's for my internal network and that works great. I can forward ports to certain machines, etc. There are other offices near me who would like to share my connection wirelessly. I think I have figured out what needs to be done on the m0n0wall. I have two ways of doing that, either bridge one of my WAN IP's to OPT2 and let them use that external/real IP on the WAN of their wireless router, or create my own NAT and give them a private IP to use on the WAN of their wireless router. (Obviously I would charge more for the public IP, as I only have a few of them.) I guess my question has evolved and now seems to be, if I have 2 NIC's in my m0n0 (OPT1 is NAT and OPT2 is bridge to public/real IP), how would I get both of these to one wireless router to distribute? I'm afraid if I ran two network cables to the LAN of my Linksys WRT54G I would create a network loop, but maybe not, because each NIC would each be a different network. Or maybe I have just engineered the biggest networking joke you all have heard of. Either way your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.
