That would involve taking the cover off, removing the battery, then the SIM, refitting the battery and back cover. That's assuming it still provides a LAN service when disconnected from its WAN (which it ought). And then reversing the above whenever you *want* the Internet. > That's what it's _designed_ for :-) I would be surprised if it didn't have DHCP, as it's a portable device and would expect to be seeing a lot of new devices. But I have no idea why they would go to the trouble and expense of providing a DNS server. How would you use it? Cheers, David.
