Hi Megaduce, I will update your IP#. One "Nice" thing about using a (D-Link/Linksys etc.) Firewall Router is that you can connect it and leave it going all the time. Put it on a UPS if power is a problem. The box is always connected and will "Hold" your Net IP#. The machines behind it can then be shut down/rebooted anything you want without causing an IP# change.

I have been waiting to change a number for myself too, I wanted to try "modD's" problem where both ends are behind a firewall. Use "NutCracker's" solution and see if it works. Mostly there are one or more folks on the server all the time now so I am waiting for a break to show up (did not want to knock anyone off).

Looked briefly at the logs, a rough estimate is in 2 days folks have Upped 2 GB and Downed 7+ GB of stuff. Not bad for a Home Broadband Link. One person was upping something and it seems to have failed for some reason. Have not had a chance to investigate further yet. Others are Upping stuff ok.
