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

[Charles Marcus]

Point your browser to http://192.168.1.1 (unless you or earthlink changed the default network), enter 'admin' for the password (leave username blank), again, unless you changed it, click on 'Advanced' tab, click on 'Port Forwarding', enable ports you want forwarded to the machine in question.

I have configured two for earthlink customers with no problems...
