David,
I haven't had the time that I initially thought I would, so here is a
quick
reply with my gut feelings about this. In the config file where you specify
the IP address of the client (If memory serves me correctly it
is 'right=192.168.1.1', but with your IP), instead of your IP address you can
try using the value:
%any
This should allow you to have any IP address. If this does not work (ie. host
is looking for static address), then it seems entirely probable that you
could set a second, and static, IP address for your network adapter (just
like you would to host a web page from your computer) and use that second
static address in the config file.
The only issue that immediately springs to mind with a second static IP is
that you may need to specify routing/gateway if you jump from network to
network. But it does seem likely that it would work. Best of luck.
