Daniel,

Thanks for your answer

In fact despite the logic, my router does not have DHCP enabled cause
I need several port forwarding. So all my clients have Static IP and
the DHCP of the router is disabled.

The question is to know if this is the only limitation.

The strangest thing I read is that in 6.06 version, the 2 cards
solution is hard to do... (so a one card should be ok ?)
