But the stingy folk at Virginia Tech only give one ethernet jack per room, and one IP address per person. I've solved the jack problem by buying a hub, but I'm still left with the two computers and the one address. I've heard of IP masquerading, but know very little about it. If anyone could give me a general idea of how I might be able to implement it, I'd be very grateful. thanks, J.p. (p.s. I noticed that there's a thread already in progress about this very issue, but I expect that my problem is different enough to warrant a seperate answer)
