<div>Just use a netgear wgr614 dsl router, it is about 50.00 and it is running open source software. Using port forwarding you can forward tcpip ports to different IP's ie</div>
<div> </div>
<div>outside:3000 -------> <a href="http://192.168.1.1:80">192.168.1.1:80</a> or whatever port you want</div>
<div>outside:3002 -------> <a href="http://192.168.1.2:80">192.168.1.2:80</a></div>
<div>outside:3003 -------> <a href="http://192.168.1.3:80">192.168.1.3:80</a><br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Then just point your software to that port. If you need other ports you could map those also. I have had no issues with the netgears unlike the linksys units and since you can download the source code for these units, you could write your own software to run internally.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You should not have any issues UNLESS the refteks contact the home server. If so they Will all look like they are coming from the same address. The only way to fix that would be that each reftek would have to send its data via a separate tcpip port then configure the server to listen on those ports.</div>

<div class="h5"><br>Hi Steve,<br>We have multiple locations with multiple dataloggers behind one IP -<br>just not multiple Refteks for the reason you state - everything is UDP<br>2543. Need somebody smarter than me to figure that one out. The router<br>
