James is correct. I know what DHCP can do but this other box I saw can pass traffic to the wan no matter what the users IP settings are set to. Bryan -----Original Message----- From: James W.

I have seen posts on this on the list. Basically, the m0n0wall has to be able to respond to ANY IP, that is difficult to say the least. I believe that end result was that it would not work. But, check the list archive anyway. _________________________________ James W.
