I agree. I am using the SR41 product on my DSL line. Its works great. Any
intrusion testing I have attempted has all failed. Unless you open ports to
be forwarded inbound on your router, all ports scan as
"stealth/non-acknowledging".
Internally it serves as a DHCP server with NAT.
The DMZ option is just to allow you 1 IP address completely exposed to the
untrusted WAN port. I would recommend that you do not enable with this
option.
Go to CompUSA and look at the box. Its pretty self explanatory.
Its a real nice product for $120 USD, for a SOHO.

Subject: RE: Linksys BEFSR11/BEFSR41 as a firewall
I've been using one at home and it works pretty well from a firewall point
of view. I'm also running a software-based firewall on my laptop just to be
safe. You do need to make a few minor changes to your home PC/laptop's
registry if you are using PPPoE connection. But the router modifications
are extremely simple, IMHO.
