[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi again, First off.., the connection I have here is ADSL with a dynamic IP address assigned (as and when) by my ISP. This situation has come about from my wanting to use my home network for testing web-based services from machines here at home. So in order to facilitate this, I got my own registered domain name, and got an account with ZoneEdit's dynamic DNS services so that I could update my gateway / firewall with a new IP address and and when the IP address changes., So, approaching my ISP to "assign" my IP address to the out-interface of the gateway is not an option in my case.., sorry. I've tried setting the DMZ option / supplying the IP address of the gateway in this time and rebooted the router., No change., still loads the router login page. From the looks of things., I might well have to disconnect the router overnight and during working hours so as to protect it and the network from potential password hack attempts too.
