I don't have that, but I suspect it is because the router itself is
incapable of filtering external IPs; it can only filter IPs of your
LAN. This feature severely impedes the Linksys' usefulness. What's
more, since network firewalls/routers are incapable of screening which
applications connect to the net, ZA picks up that weakness.
