Allow me an addition: Some home routers with a web interface allow you to also define fixed (local) addresses depending on the MAC address, so the DHCP server will issue the same IP every time a given device connects. However, not all routers support that function - I have already met models where you can select the local IP range (192.168.x.[y-z]), but you cannot set fixed addresses... Regarding the admin access: On some models, the factory setting is printed on the back, or it comes with the docu- mentation provided by the ISP which "normal people" immediately throw away after receiving their new shiny equipment. ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
