Howdy, I have a very newbie question that I'm sure someone from PLUG will be able to address... Here on campus, most of our office machines have IP addresses in the 10.1.x.x range. Our school has 'contracts' with several databases/digital libraries that check the IP of the machines trying to access the stuff. If they are in the 10.1.x.x range, they are allowed, otherwise they're not. The problem is that when we are at home, there is no way we can get to this information easily. I was wondering if there is any simple way of setting up a server that I could somehow access from home (using different ISPs, as we have no modem bank on campus) which would assign (or 'fudge') an IP address so that it is in the range expected by the database servers. I know that this is a problem regularly encountered by many, and there are probably many tools out there to solve it, but my ignorance has no limits... Thanks to all in advance, Guillermo PS: Completely unrelated.
