Without static IP you cannot do anything. It is a must. Dynamic IPs have a lot of problems. You can even run a web server by simple port forwarding with dyndns IP update with a simple basic ADSL connection. But it won't work well. It is legal of course but won't serve much. -Girish -- G3 Tech Networking appliance company web: http://g3tech.in mail: [email protected] _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
