Mark, Forget the bridge. Run Multinet at the event and either connect to your end via Multinet (you are already running that), or connect to mine. Either way it will just work. I personally, would use the dedicated events area on the machines at the event and be done with it! I can either supply you with my code for your end, or you can connect to my end. Your choice. In the second scenerio, all I have to do is add one (1) entry in the existing database and off we go! -Steve -----Original Message----- From: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE [mailto:owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE] On Behalf Of Mark Wickens Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2011 18:30 To: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Subject: [HECnet] Another thought regarding dynamic bridge setup Just thinking aloud, Can I run a bridge between the dongle based network and my own home network? If the bridge program on my network is wrapped with a script which checks the dyndns hostname periodically against the recorded IP address, cannot I not reconfigure the bridge on my home network and restart it if required? If this is possible it keeps my configuration in a realm I've got half a chance of working out myself and saves me from hassling anyone else. Presumably at home I would need to run two bridges on different ports - with the current bridge linking back to Johnny as normal. Regards, Mark
