Hi: Nah your computer has the IP, as far as I know. The router presumably makes sure traffic destined for you goes to you and stuff that isn't doesn't (DSL owners may well know more about this). If you have a network then you'd need 2 cards in your gateway box, one for your LAN and one for the DSL. Geoff. -- Geoff Shang <gshang10 at scu.edu.au> ICQ number 43634701
