Since you mention Google, I remember reading about a NASA style AP authentication which may be of interest to the OP: Essentially you run a web server with SSL authentication so that only users who authenticate with user name/passwd that you have provided, are issued with an IP address by your dhcp server. In this way you can control who's using your bandwidth; what they use it for; e.g. only mail; or mail & http; etc. If you are interested in providing this as a service then you issue usernames/passwds to applicants via email. Additionally, you can run QoS and throttle http, or bitorrent (ab)users, a proxy caching server, and what not. PS. Where I live I have to pay for bandwidth (although where I currently work I don't). So your concept of offering bandwidth for free seems somewhat strange to me. Furthermore, I would be concerned what different people may be using the Internet for and what trouble I could get into, for being the registered owner of the particular public IP address. That said, I would looove being your neighbor! :) -- Regards, Mick
