Hi Zone-MR, I have found some "Firewall" cases where IE cannot make it through to a Server, but some FTP Clients can. FTP Clients that get through are ones that can support "IP Masq/NAT/Non-routable IP" functions.
Hi BearCat, thanks for you comments on the DHCP stuff. I tend to overlook 56Kers. Have not used Dial-up modems for over three years now, so it is fading from my memory. Using IP#s for Control limits access to a smaller number of folks that are on Broadband or better. Basically others that can do some FTP Serving, which was my original objective. Still looking for good ways to handle Dial-up folks. I am a but short on ideas in that case.
An "Always-on" Firewall box can solve many IP# changes when you have your Server off for Maintenance etc.
I am still running my server for folks, so I will get some first hand experience with longer term issues as time progresses.
Cheers. [img]smile.gif[/img]
