Hi! I personally have a 510v4 and it is connected to my LEAF box. The only thing you might want to do is change the default password for the web admin, because it can be reached from the outside in some circunstances. You can use the modem with PPPoE, without need to configure anything, i just connected my modem to the power, adsl line and ethernet, and in two minutes i was online! I don't trust integrated firewalls, they suck! ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
