Er, that is why I suggested calling the ISP. If their modem/router or whatever they call it does NAT translation and assigns the TCP/IP address via a DHCP server, you are done. It depends on what the ISP provides. You are a bit confused, nearly all ISPs do NAT at the entry to your house, so only one IP address is visible externally. There is very little difference between a router and a switch. The more important question is who assigns the TCP/IP addresses. Doing that manually has been obsolete for at least a decade. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
