Yes, dd-wrt lets you do this on most routers; I had three external IPs coming into one box at one point. > *) Suppose I decide to go the whole hog and re-do my wireless configuration > (reluctance to do this is the main reason behind my request for a wired > router). I see that there is also a "Wireless-N" version, called "WRT160NL", > that is also "Linux compatible". Does that mean it can also run dd-wrt? This can be a challenge with Linksys routers; they will sometimes change the chipset and will not change the model number; there'll be a "version number" that bumps but isn't discernable on the outside of the box. Ordering online can be a real roulette wheel. Asus makes routers that I use at work that are certified to support dd-wrt; they're reasonably priced and perform all right, though they are a touch less power efficient and don't last as long. -C _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
