Further down the page, the product details say: "Allows Multiple users to share a single IP address on the same ADSL connection". That implies that it does something like NAT (the modem gets your public IP, your LAN runs on a different subnet using private IPs). -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
