Don't forget 2 of these won't be available (network+broadcast). Zen reckon you get 5 IP's to play with, they count one of the remaining for the router.

With more than a single IP if you have (a few) multiple sites, then stick them on their own IP, it will then be easy to play around with Ingress QoS- so that 1 site doesn't monopolise 100% of the bandwidth. It's a bit more tricky if it's all named based virtual hosting. [1]a) not perfect means Dlink deny all knowledge of SNMP working in the router, even though it's advertised as such- and snmpwalk contradicts them. I believe Dlink tech support is completely non-existant. b) the dhcp lease is between 5 - 7 seconds long, though this isn't a problem having static ip's. -- Regards, Adam Allen. adam [at] dynamicinteraction.co.uk pgp http://search.keyserver.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=adam%40dynamicinteraction.co.uk
