The idea was more than interesting to test, it also worked. Thank you very much! I will have to go thru of course the security issues. (Security by obscurity might not be enough...) The firewall allows me to restrict outside connections to my LAN, so that shouldn't be a problem. seanadams;262284 Wrote: > > Another thing to try would be to use a port redirect to send it to the > broadcast IP, usually X.X.X.255. That was my first idea, but (not surprisingly) the router configuration interface didn't allow that.
