Hmm... top posters should be shot on sight.....

Anyway, glad to hear it is working.  They really are wonderful devices 
once you get used to them (but I am biased!)

I also have problems with the wireless server - it doesn't seem to 
consistantly give IP addresses out, and so for the moment, mine is 
turned off.  My current FW version is 2.6.3.1_E38.  I see there is now 
an RC2 release on their website: 
http://www.draytek.co.uk/support/download/v2800_2641rc2_uk.zip  I 
haven't tried updating the 2800 yet, but the 2600 I used to update 
periodically without a problem.

It is best to use the supplied TFTP software to upload the changes.

Cheers,

Richie
