Configuring a Hardware Firewall Within a Router

[Guest]

Archived from groups: comp.security.firewalls (More info?)

I have a Castlenet AR502 Router and want to open some ports for
inbound access.

Is there a way for me to do this at home??

I am running Win98 SE and have a personal PC with a
DSL/ethernet/router internet acess.

Thanks

It's called Port Forwarding. My advise would be to go to the router's
Website Support Knowledge Base it should have one and look-up how to do
Port Forwarding, or call the Thec Support on the phone and have them help
you on how to configure the router.

You should stay out of the DMZ, if the router has it.
