I'm using a Linksys BEFSX41 (http://linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=34&scid=29&prid=433). From what I can tell, plugging a machine into the DMZ port (and enabling the DMZ port of the router) exposes that machine to the Internet completely. What I'm not sure about is how isolated that machine is from the internal network. I *assume* (and we all know how dangerous it is to assume) that it's OK and I'll just run iptables on the Web server if I want to further control access. > My RoadRunner IP lease seems to suddenly be changing more frequently - > like 10 hour lease times > > This is a pain in the butt - I have to update my DNS provider with my IP > every time it changes > > Maybe you have a static IP or know a way around lease times as a DHCP > client (?) I'm using DynDNS (http://dyndns.org/) and it seems to work well. The Linksys router has support for DDNS built-in. Names should continue to resolve properly even if my dynamically-assigned IP address changes. We'll see though. -Tim -- Tim Wilson Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA Science teacher, Linux fan, Zope developer, Grad. student, Daddy mailto:wilson at visi.com | http://qwerk.org/ | public key: 0x8C0F8813 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
