No problem. > However, if Nick's got the paper, I think I'll have a bash at a pptp > connection to the firewall. Although I'm in two minds about it... a router > and a firewall being better protection than just a firewall? Not really. A firewall IS a router (a router is not always a firewall). I have been doing the PPTP thing to my Speedtouch Home for a couple of years now without any problems. I am still using IPCop 1.3, but plan to upgrade soon. If you leave your SpeedTouch Pro working as a router then you will have to pinhole everything twice. Once on the router and again on the firewall. A quick google and I found the instructions right at the top of a FAQ. http://www.zentek-international.com/mirrors/ipcop/modules.php?op=modload&name=FAQ&file=index&myfaq=yes&id_cat=5 Good Luck. -- Later David Kirk ** Beware the dreaded GMail reply-to header if replying to this message **
