The speed of the responses is impressive...thanks.

Yes, it's a hardware firewall (SmoothWall). I've installed these before on ADSL lines with multiple IP addresses without problems. Thinking about it, the ADSL lines have a router and a whole subnet which may explain things.

Employing a layer 2 device will be a pain as the firewall provides several features we use such as IPSEC VPN and QoS.

It's frustrating seeing the IP address and MAC table when I log onto the NTL Business Essentials site with no way of adding them manually.

I'm also wondering how to use these multiple IP addresses at all without having the machines directly connected to the cable modem...and therefore the Internet. Am I supposed to install ZoneAlarm on eveything?

Come on out of the dunces corner if you have any more ideas.

Cheers
