If the BSD box is already behind the firewall, then poke a hole in the existing one to allow access to the GUI from your machine or network from the internet. It doesn't really matter because even if someone in the office inside LAN found the 3Ware http server running on tcp 888 (obscure) they'd need the credentials to do anything anyway. Setting up a firewall on BSD is way more complicated than getting the 3Ware software setup. =20 What's perhaps better/easier/more useful to you is to setup the 3dm2 3Ware software so that it will E-mail you when it gets into trouble or has a problem. Then you do not need to worry about it, constantly checking the http GUI. This is how mine is setup, it seems very trustworthy.=20 HTH Eric
