Here's a good list of ports for forwarding:
http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/n100495.asp
I've done the forwarding to home, but since my home network security is lax
I'm very hesitant to open holes in the firewall. It might be worth
considering allowing remote administration of the Linksys and only turning
on forwarding as needed. Of course, that becomes a potential hole too, so
I'd read up on it first.

> If you have control over your router, you can do port forwarding. I have
done this on the linksys router. I believe the port is 3389. You will have
to check your router manual for more specifics. I would strongly advise to
flash your router with the latest image to take advantage of bug fixes,
feature upgrades and better security.
