Good point, though maybe bad news for us. At the office we are going to have 20+ clients that are to be taken backup of regularly. These clients recieve their ip's via DHCP. Offsite we will have our backupserver (in case of fires etc). In the case of the Director contacting each and every client, won't I have to manually reroute ports to each of the machines internally, every time they change ip, for the Director to be able to find them? - Christopher ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
