Like it, I've not seen that one. Unfortunately the mobile networks seem to use a proxy system unlike most ADSL/cable services. The public address returned by for me is that of either Onspeed if it's turned on or the Vodafone gateway if Onspeed is turned off. I'm just wondering if I could create a VPN tunnel to a router on an ADSL connection and access it that way. Bit contrived but I think it would work. Steve NB Bream
