Are you sure? I still haven't tried it myself, but the docs (in e.g. <http://www.netguru.co.il/files/manuals/eci/ECI_ROUTER_ADSL_270_400.pdf> ) say otherwise. Look at page 38, section 5.4.3. Free translation (Since someone said there is no English version): "Static mapping of port numbers allows access from the public network to the local network, while keeping privacy. In a state of static mapping of ports the address towards the public network, the address in the local network and the port space for moving between them are listed. It's possible to define several lines to allocate groups of port ranges in the public network to several addresses in the local network". > * cheap -- below 200-300 NIS. I don't know how much it costs if someone wants to buy it, but you already have it, and bezeq gives it for free for customers of some services (I think ADSL with 1.5Mbit/s or higher). > * being available at Israel. > Nice extras: > * more than one network connection, so that I will not have to connect > the switch to it. It doesn't, but the website of eci shows they have a very similar version with 4 ethernet ports. Most probably available in Israel, but I don't think bezeq sells it for less than 300 NIS (but maybe others do). -- Didi > > -- > Cheers, L. > > /"\ > \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign > x Against HTML Mail > / \ > > > ================================================================= > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
