RE: wireless kit for epod and ipaq whats the best?

I will sort of like that, not as configurable as port forwarding but I like
the idea of using one PC as the outward face to the world and of course
that
PC could run ZoneAlarm or similar so it wouldn't be totally exposed.

You have given me some food for thought. hmmm if it was a win2000 box with
two NICs I guess it could route connections for the other PCs on the
network
if they really needed it. I will need to do some more thinking!

Cheers
Mick
