But how to assign them? I think you're right. To do what you're needing to do, you need the five NICs. However, I was able to do something like this with an old 486 Dell and a bunch of ISA NICs about five years ago, using LRP (the linux routing project). I don't have the liink, but it worked pretty well with only 32 meg of ram. Ben
