A method for interconnecting networks which use internet technology, whereby a first network (1) with private IP addressing may be linked with a second network (2) with standard IP addressing. Said first and second networks convey packets that each comprise an IP header including, in particular, a "source IP address" field and a "destination IP address" field. The packets are considered as outbound when they are moved from the first network (1) to the second network (2) via the device, and inbound when the reverse is the case. For each outbound packet, the method comprises a first step of converting the private IP address in the "source IP address" field so that after conversion, said "source IP address" field contains a single intermediate standard IP address. For each inbound packet, the method further comprises a second step of converting the single intermediate standard IP address in the "destination IP address" field so that after conversion, said "destination IP address" field of said inbound packet contains one of the private addresses of the first network.
