But has has anybody actually gotten port forwarding to work on the Linksys? I need to set up static addressing in order to do that, and I can't get static addressing to work. Here's what I've tried: I go in and disable dhcp. Then I go to the advanced tab, then static routing. I try to add a route like this: Destination LAN IP: 192.168.1.101 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (The Linksys) Hop count: 1 I have one static IP and three computers and a printer behind the Linksys. When I put in the above values (mostly guesses) in and hit apply, it says command completed or some such, but when I hit show routing tables it doesn't change at all beyond the default routes. Tech support was mostly clueless, but said I should try an address in the 2-99 range instead of 101 or over. That didn't work either. I'm obviously a little dumb on IP addressing. I've tried to read up on it but don't understand what I read. What addresses should I pick, and once I do, how do I know which computer was set to which? I want to port forward ssh to the FreeBSD box, and I can do the setup for that fine, but it won't work until I get the static routing setup. I also want static routing for the printer. I'd really appreciate any help, Thanks, Tim Any RTFM manual responses are fine, of course tell me which FM! ----------------------------------------------- "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take from you everything you have." -Gerald Ford ----------------------------------------------- On Mon, 13 Nov 2000, John Krueger wrote: > The Linksys will give access to machines inside from machines on the > outside, if you set up port forwarding.
