Hi, this would be possible without too many trouble. just get the html of your router's webinterface and grep the lines where you can see if the settings are right. If not, submit a cgi request to your router, where you set the correct settings. Perhaps you'd like to read something about cgi before. However, I'd guess you could also assign a static IP to your pc. Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
