[ale] Linksys DSL router (BEFSR11) How to allow access in

[George Johnson]

I have adsl.  It usually keeps the same ip for quite some time.  I just
wanted to promote forwarding on my LINUX server (when I get it configured
behind my FreeBSD firewall).  Nead to learn this stuff as fast as I can.

George

Thanks for all the help from you and this ale email!!!!!

Hi -

My note assumed you use the web interface from behind the router. I don't
understand what you refer to with Earthlink setting router parameters, but
my Linksys has a 'factory defaults' button you can hold when powering the
unit, and that wipes your configuration setup back to stock. Did you mean
the router/modem between the LAN and the DSL line? Telocity provided that
and I don't expect to configure it. My Linksys is behind that.

Also - Mr. Johnson: you must have a well-defined 'outside' IP in order to
attempt your login, but I assume you do have either a static IP (which
you've assigned to your router), or some dynamic arrangement that
guarantees a resolvable IP when you try to login.
