I'm not sure if I'm not understanding or you're not. I want to move the server so it is no longer behind ANY router. You can't do this with most DSL connections, but with mine you can. It would definitely be visible to the internet. That's the point. What I'm wondering is, if I do that, does that mean my SB traffic goes across the entire DSL subnet too (and over my DSL line, which I don't want)? Also, if so, is there any way to stop that and still have my server outside the router or is my only option to put the server behind a router? -- lanierb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lanierb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5566 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54008 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
