Sean, There are ways you can be obnoxious, sneaky, or simply cost effective, and tunnel/proxy a two way connection to serve traffic from home even with a dynamic DSL assignment. You need an external IP address somewhere to tunnel to, obviously. I wouldn't recommend it, if performance is a concern. It involves a little bit of rerouting, but it's mildly entertaining. No matter that they block certain ports, either. There are ways around that, as long as you can establish an outgoing connection to create the tunnel in the first place. I hope it doesn't sound too shady. It's actually quite legitimate and very practical if you are stuck between a rock and the wall. I just thought I'd mention it if you are desperate for a stopgap measure until you can get something else set up. If you are interested, please email me, and I'll chat with you about it. -- T.J. ==================================================== "I believe C++ instills fear in programmers, fear that the interaction of some details causes unpredictable results. Its unmanageable complexity has spawned more fear-preventing tools than any other language, but the solution _should_ have been to create and use a language that does not overload the whole goddamn human brain with irrelevant details." -- Erik Naggum -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
