That puts your local addresses within the same (sub)net as your remote system. The remote LAN will have hosts that don't know how to get to your local systems unless you are advertising the subnet via RIPv2 or similar..... > IP routing on >Static route: 20-301 NTSERVER > >Name=NTSERVER > Active=Yes > Dest=208.205.255.40/24 > Gateway=208.205.255.41 > Metric=8 > Preference=100 > Private=No > >Office situation >pipe 50 IP address 208.205.255.41/24 > rem IP 208.205.255.153/30 > IP routing on >NT server IP address 208.205.255.40/24 The office machines will need to *know* that the "home addresses" are not local - that can only be achieved by advertising the sub-net-route locally or allowing the "office" P50 to proxy for those addresses...it's an unusual setup really... >>From home PC I can ping ...154, ...153 and ...41 but not the NT server.

The router knows where things are based on it's configuration...but the NT server would not know that the remote IPs are accessible only via the router...i.e. it doesn't know it needs a 'router' to get to them.... >Where am I going wrong in the IP addresses or is it something else? Either changing the IP addresses to avoid this overlap, or set the office Pipeline to send routing updates (which might still not work.....another subject), or to proxy for the remote network.
