Truely WIERD

OK..... Found the computer that was originally on the DSL line at work, on a fixed IP address. It's NT and the admin password is not available, so I cannot change it's fixed IP address.

So.... I have:

Public IP, fixed --to--> Cayman Router --to--> DHCP in range of 192.168.1.xxx --to--> SMC Barricade Router --to--> DHCP in range of 216.103.57.xxx --to--> my laptop, with a fixed IP that *IS* the public IP.

I have the public IP running through *TWO* NAT boxes to go out on it's own IP address?

My head hurts...

Update. While my laptop would run just fine thru the double routers, his old desktop wouldn't. Without the password and with no real need,and with needing the router for another job I ripped it all out. I simply connected a server to his computer so that he could save his data separate from his computer -- which was all he wanted in the first place.
