    She rarely uses it. I could probably keep it on if I needed to. But 
accessing the computer isn't really what I'm trying to do.

    IDK enough about this to know f it can be done. Maybe what I am indeed 
looking for is a proxy. But there's on line lists of proxies to go through. 
All I can do is set up Tor.
    More than anything it's an experiment to see if the router can create a 
path for me to go through. As said before it would be slow. I have openvms 
for windows but it's linux that I like better.

    The router has a pool I have set to IPs it can assign in the range of 
192.168.2.2 to .75. Default it can go to 192.168.2.100. These are of course 
non-routable internal IPs. Will it assign this to a computer that would be 
accessing with an external IP in the 173.x.x.x range. < shrug>.
