Thus, to the WRT54G, connecting from the real LAN (not one of the four ports on the device itself) would appear to be coming form the internet and connecting to its WAN port. Thus, the firewall needs to accept unsolicited connections from outside (outside the WAN port, that is). -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------- Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC www.2rosenthals.com Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com Warpstock - Albuquerque, NM, Aug 7-9, 2009 www.warpstock.org -------------------------------------------------------------
