K. Followed as per page 42-3 in the manual but am getting inconsistent results as I look to see what pc is assigned what ip. And oft the pc I am using to set up there doesn't appear at all on any of the pages but seems to get a dynamic ip even tho both mac address and ip are specified as I enter them. This seems weird behaviour to me. It just struck me as I was rereading your reply. I saw the word "reservations" there and the reserve option next to dynamic addresses when they show. So when each of the pc's came up with a dynamic ip instead of static I checked the reserve option and saved and rebooted the modem. Now I finally have a static ip for each of them. Now it's time to try and get the port forwarding working my end Thx again so far James -- If you know that fundamentally there is nothing to seek, you have settled your affairs Rinzai -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
