Persuade someone who has a fixed IP to run the user mode router, if you register your IP with something like DynDns then the user mode router periodically checks for a change of IP. Is the user mode router ready? I could deploy that.. [Rob Jarratt] It has been used in a couple of configurations now and seems to work OK, I use it permanently now. You could try it and if it does not work for you it is only seconds to switch back to the bridge. Oh I was going to run the bridge as well, act as a sort of connections hub (Bridge, MULTINET on GORVAX and the user mode router). What OS does the user mode router run on? sampsa It runs on Windows (as a Windows Service) and it runs on linux (as a Daemon). I built the linux version on the Raspberry Pi using a flavour of Debian. I think it has been built on FreeBSD too. Regards Rob
