Just thought I should say that there are ISPs (cable) that do offer connections where your are assigned a private IP and they NAT the traffic.. which results in no incoming connections .. but since you are getting good bandwidth at a low cost I guess it's a small price to pay! (There are such ISPs in Bangalore and Hyderabad that I know of) Kingsly _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
