Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Unfortunately, I don't think it would really be worth the effort. You could setup some routing and QoS on everyone's gateways to allow for a type of fail-over situtation, where if your connection was down you could use other peoples' bandwidth. I can't think of any way for your gateway to know when its bandwidth was all used up, and start trying WLAN routes - maybe someone else does though. And trying to set it up with 5-7 (30-50) peoples routes would be a nightmare to try and track who was utilising all their bandwidth and who wasn't. You'd need some kind of dynamic routing protocol that knew about QoS. that's my 2c worth. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Damion de Soto - Software Engineer email: damion@xxxxxxxxxxxx SnapGear --- ph: +61 7 3435 2809 | Custom Embedded Solutions fax: +61 7 3891 3630 | and Security Appliances web: http://www.snapgear.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
