I'm looking over /var/log/messages and dmesg, can't find those error messages. anyhow, as I understand there's a problem with MAC address's which prevents that setup. (ultimately, this'd be nice, for now I'm just looking for a phone.) I need a DHCP router on the downstream, meaning between eth0 and eth1 to provide the masquerading? -Thufir
