Its a basic linksys Router...I have turned on port
forwarding so that when a request is made to my router
(port 2118 (for example) it forwards to my number 1
mach. with a private address of 192.168.1.35. I am using
a program called remotelyanywhere which can listen on a
port of my choosing (Default is 2000). you then use a web
browser in this manner. https: or http//router IP
address:2000/ this should get you to the RA log in
page. and it does for me except from work.... Machines
are running XP PRO at home and trying to connect from
work mach. on 2000pro. Thanks for your time...
