is there no possible way to connect hosts to amprnet that are behind a nat firewall router that has a dynamic public ip without the use of a (my own) vpn server with a static ip placed elsewhere?
If you subscribe to a service such as 'dyndns' that allows you to register a hostname that tracks your changing IP address, you can then register that hostname as the endpoint of the AMPRNet tunnel instead of a fixed IP address. That way when your IP address changes, the hostname will be updated to point to the new IP address, and the gateway address will be updated to that new IP address in the AMPRNet routing table. This is how some folks are getting a static AMPRNet address even though they are behind a changing commercial IP address. - Brian _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net@hamradio.ucsd.edu http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net
ok, so the router is findable via dynamic dns hostname. how does one get packets across that residential gateway (i.e. home router) to the hosts inside without reconfiguring the home router / residential gateway?
Thanks,
