The 3G network enabled Vigor 2800 router that I will be using at the DEC Legacy event appears to be working reasonably well, but unsurprisingly there does appear to be some fluctuation in the IP address. This means that an alternative to Johnny's bridge program might be called for. I have a dynamic DNS reference set up and now updating periodically, hecnet.no-ip.org, the question is what can I use as an alternative to the bridge program which will cope with IP address changes? I seem to remember Multinet tunnels being mentioned in the past, do they support dnydns, or any other technology? Thanks for the help, Mark. Unfortunately not. I've seen three IP address changes in about the same number of hours. I don't know whether this poor performance is down to the completely haphazard location of the dongle, or whether it's always this rubbish but you don't realise when all you're doing is browsing the internet. My experience of using a 3G dongle for anything other than web browsing is very limited! Regards Mark.
