Any dual wan routers without a firewall?

Hello

I recently purchased the Twin Wan XC-DPG503 from xincom.com. Set up
was easy and I was doing session based load balancing and failover
with my ADSL and Cable modem internet connections right out of the box
with a few minor modifications.

The problems started when one particular application called ILX which
provides realtime information on stocks, would not work. I contacted
ILX support and they gave me a PDF with a bunch of ports to open.
Only problem was that the DPG503 did not have anyplace to open ports
for all PC's except for a screen called "Special Applications". I
entered the information and it still didn't work, and then I read that
only one PC at a time can use special applications. I have 5 PC's.
That's when I turned on transparent bridging, this was supposed to
bypass the firewall features of DPG503. Still, no luck. BTW, ILX
works fine with a simple router.

So, does anyone know of a router that supports failover for cable
modem and ADSL and does not use a firewall or has a firewall that can
be completely disabled? Load balancing would be nice, but I can live
without it.

Thanks!
