My Linksys BEFW11S4 has=20 done everything I need it to thus far. This particular devil has built-in= =20 802.11b wireless access, built-in DHCP server, port-forwarding, if you=20 purchase ZoneAlarm, you can input the purchase code and it will even act as= a=20 firewall! The only things it will NOT do include connecting to a dial-up=20 internet provider and it can't act as a proxy server, but you shouldn't nee= d=20 that with broadband, anyways. =20 What's great about the portforwarding is that it's not like the older ones,= =20 where you just told it what computer was the DMZ and EVERYTHING incoming go= t=20 forwarded. Now, you can tell it that port 22 is ssh and your ssh server is= =20 on the internal 192.168.0.4 computer and the web server is operating on por= t=20 80 on 192.168.0.5, etc, etc. I hope this helps. (In other words, there is an easier way to do this...) =2D-=20 Eric F Crist AdTech Integrated Systems, Inc (952) 403-9000 --Boundary-02=_iSzg/cjLMpkiIu9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA/gzSiWxy3JtXvWloRAma5AKCnDgcNsogz08OTMLVLVV6QdU/7kwCfX5Sb +a3w/ei7opERoLlmziOOYgg= =Ek/t -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_iSzg/cjLMpkiIu9--
