Thank you Simon, It's nice to know we aren't alone up here. Our biz is right up against the wall right now and I only have a few days left to sort things out. I've set up a stand alone 1gig athlon 128meg 20gig HD (apache redhat 7.3) to serve us in the short term (say 3-6 months). My brother sugested a one box solution for the router/firwall and we purchased a netgear 814. NTL were happy to provide a static ip after 6 weeks delays (AHHHH!) They then informed us that we were not alowed to replace their bt router and they will not support any hardware including firewalls. It could be just me but I think it's time to change our IP and fast. *Job Advert: Tec. helper required on casual basis. Must be prepaired to work for a non profit (well 12 years trading (4 years as internet only) and still to post a profit) internet only bookstore. Pay is as much as we can afford untill we post a profit, which we believe wont be too much longer now.* The prognosis for our company growing very large is good once we have suitable security as this has been the only thing that has curtailed our position over the last 14 months. > I know Exeter University were doing some, and we met the technical guy > who was teaching some of them, he was competent, and knowledgable, but I > haven't seen him recently, but there is plenty of know-how at the Uni.

Should we get ourselves out of this whole we seem to be stuck in we would love to do something.
