I want to use that as a web/mail server if possible. Well like I say - if there is nothing on the line and tyou do not want to use it as an authoritative business site then masquerading may well work. BUTn watch out -- ISPs who do not let you host without paying extra usually have pretty effective packet monitoring to detect whether you are hosting or using smptd so they can,if they find you breaking their heavy rules, they cut you off without warning. To be safe I would recomend you consider finding an alternative ISP if there is one around. If there is not then you could find yourself in difficultuies. my two pennorth good luck whatever David -- 40 yrs navigating and computing in blue waters.
