Sounds like dynamic IP addresses, DHCP. Rather than solve the changing configuration, change the setup of your machines. My home system has two static IP's allocated one my major machine and one my son's so I can easily control it with filtering rules. DHCP can also map the mac address (physical number for the network card) to a specific IP address. You might want to have a look at that. In direct answer there is WWW:Mechanise that can connect to a web screen and perform actions. IF you want to reconfigure a router then it is possible that you would connect to the router webserver and reconfigure it. I have to say I would not recommend this, you have lag between reboot and rebuild for a start. -- Ken Foskey FOSS developer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
