Ah, yes -- you are talking about the local network -- you can have a lot of computers set up there -- in my last mail I was thinking of addresses reachable from outside. It isn't that hard to set up a linksys network. The defaults are pretty useful -- you can set up static addresses for some machines or just use dynamic hosting to allocate a new address for each machine that links to the network. The internal IP address for a linksys router is 192.168.1.1 and dynamic addresses start at 192.168.1.100 and run up from there to some max. If there are other linksys wireless nets in your area, to avoid conflict, you can pick a different address for your router. Cheers. --le ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raul A.

With a router such a Linksys, you can have around 252 different machines with eachone having their own IP address. I don't think you need to request another IP from your ISP. You tehn remote to the other one by using its private IP and away you go. Richard Thomas said the following on 2/4/2008 1:42 PM: > Hi Gang: > I just received my second development computer.
