Thanks guys. The AP has a reserved static LAN IP address on the router (10.10.10.13). It also has a MAC. So it is simply a matter of forwarding (all) ICMP echo-reply packets that arrive from the Internet to that LAN address. (On this implementation the AP is itself a Linksys wireless router). I wonder if I can play tricks with ping's ICMP headers to differentiate between them as they come into the router, or something clever that I haven't yet figured out. Any ideas? -- Regards, Mick
