Re: It'll be a slow process said by vpoko:Not to mention the fact that tons of electronic devices that never needed IP that all of a sudden will (think TV's, media players, cell phones, video game consoles, smart fridges, etc), and it's not unreasonable to assume that the average person could need 3, 4, or more IP addresses. I am currently using 12 IP addresses; however, I really only need 2 publicly routeable IP addresses. Not really sure I'd like the NAS, or HR-21 on the public Internet. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |

The nice thing about that is then the device can easily and without conflicting with other devices open the ports it needs using UPnP. Currently if you have two devices that need the same port you're SOL if you have the usual single dynamic address. -- It's wierdo, not weirdo. Yes, I know that's not the 'proper' spelling of the similar english language word.  |
