namecheap.com, just a few bucks for a 5 year registration of a fixed address, now on another 5 year renewal: from my sig: Genes Web page <http://geneslinuxbox.net:6309/gene> gene@coyote:~$ ping geneslinuxbox.net PING geneslinuxbox.net (204.111.64.149): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 204.111.64.149: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.274 ms Now, apache2 is running on port 6309, not on the usual port 80 and dd-wrt is set to port-forward that port to this machines internal 192.168.xx.xx address at that same port. You can also port-fwd to port 80 at the same address and leave apache2's default at port 80. Mauchs Nichs as long as they match. The 6309 is homeage to a Hitachi cpu that smartens up a trs-80 Color computer running what we now call nitros9, used to be os9. Its a mini-unix that runs on a 16 bit cpu that has PCR addressing. Your trivia factoid for today. Its sort of a secret aas Hitachi had permission to clone the moto 6809 in cmos, but were and are precluded from mentioning it was an improved clone. It can even do some 32 bit math! Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
