If you are using internet explorer try the following go to tools, internet options, connections, lan settings, check the box use a proxy for your lan, enter 216.104.196.225 for the address, 3128 for the port and uncheck use proxy for local addresses after this you will connect thru an annonymous proxy at 216.140.196.225 and from there you can connect back to your own server This is not so much different than connecting thru dialup Annonymous proxy's have the tendency to disappear after a while then youll need to find another one that works Dont forget to disable the proxy after you are done browsing your own computer it slows trafic down Hope this helps Peter van Hoof peter@mad-scientist.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter van Hoof" To: "Microcontroller discussion list - Public."
