Simply put a dongle is not an infrastructure component. There's no friendly neighbour to help you out? Possibly. The alternative is a local company, but they don't have a fixed IP address either. Obviously over an ADSL connection we are more likely to get a reliable IP address. However, the problem with this solution is that configuring NAT was an issue last time - they're router was managed by an external company, which put a spanner in the works at the time... However, it might be worth a try again. Regards, Mark.
