It is probably a little OT but what router version do you have? I am running a wireless version 1 router (<rant>linksys screwed us early adopters by not distributing recent firmware upgrades</rant>) and the port forwarding does not work when the wireless is activated, so obviously I can't have both at once. However, I was able to put my server in the DMZ (I know less secure, but its an up-to-date linux boxen so it is fairly secure (read: more secure than a M$ boxen) anyways) and still get wireless. So are you sure the portforwarding is actually working? If you feel confident in the security of the box you could put it out in the DMZ, obviously this prevents multiple servers behind the router, but most home users probably don't care. Other than that my setup is basically the same, I use DynDNS with ddclient and everything is groovy. Now if I could find a way to thwart the recent blocking of SSH out of the company..... http://danconia.org -- Boycott the Sugar Bowl!
