I find that hard to believe. 10.0.0.0/8 is reserved private IP space. Unless the companies you have contracts with are within your IP space (do you have private, leased lines running to them?), they're basing this decision on whatever address your 10net gets translated to in the outside world. You are right. I cannot ping my office machine from the outside... I think that the 10.0.x.x range is wired to a server which goes out, and this one is the one recognized as 'friend' by the databases/digital libraries servers. You've already got plenty of Linux machines up, so just ssh in and use lynx (or whatever). This is probably the best bet. However, the linux machine to which I have access (tonga) is on a 208.7.x.x range. Could I install a second NIC on this machine and set it to, say, DHCP, so that it picks one of the 10.1.x.x IP's? > PS: Completely unrelated. Did any of you lost telephone dial tones in > the Upper Darby are after yesterday storm? I guess that was it. Probably one of verizon's switches/boxes/whatevers got zapped with lightning and died. To add to the aggravation, they don't have technicians to fix it, according to them, until Monday (sigh). Thanks!
