I don't understand why any of these options are required. Why not accept the ip address you are given as a router, and use your usual box behind it to talk to the webserver to do the configuration, and then re-initialize networking on the router? Does the configuration process use java or javascript? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... ..... Go Live...
