When I was on Qwest (now on Utopia, yea) I DMZ'd to my firewall (smoothwall)and let it take care of the port forwarding and I didn't have to worry about the webserver being locked down so much.

Then you have to make sure your web server is locked down tight. The nice thing about just forwarding a port is that later you can forward a different port to possibly a different machine hosting a different service such as FTP or SSH. If your actiontec is anything like mine you may find that it severely lacks features. Unfortunately I'm stuck with it so to get around its lack of features I bought a DLink router and setup the DMZ on the actiontec to point to the dlink. Then all of my computers are behind the dlink. This allows me to open an incoming VPN which was something the actiontec could not do. for what its worth Brian Jordan Curzon wrote: >I use the DMZ feature and it has worked great.
