LRP makes it pretty easy. However a router is easier still. Of course it complicates Freenet and just about any other P2P having a NAT device... and if you get a router, get a good one, because the crap ones can't cope with Freenet... anyway the original poster probably isn't even subscribed and therefore can't see any of this :). > > Mike S. -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible. Our Boss says so.
