I second the vote for third-party firmware. If you have a version 4 or lower WRT54G, you can upgrade the firmware to an open source linux-based solutions. Here are two popular distributions: 'DD-WRT' (http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/index.php) 'Tomato' (http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato) Both have support for static DHCP leases, which is what you'd need to have your server assigned the same IP address. DD-WRT is perhaps a bit more full-featured, but Tomato has a cleaner, more simple interface. Both of them are substantial improvements over the stock Linksys firmware. In general, I don't trust SOHO routers as far as I can throw them, but DD-WRT and Tomato are both superb. -- kidjan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kidjan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14765 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41002 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
