hey,
Just looking at my home network from work, and I see that I can get in to my router using telnet. Is there anyway I can see if I can access the actual computers the router connects to?! I have 3 comps on it.

you have to forward the port (25) to a particular PC. You can't do the same one to all, but you can telnet to any port, so you would forward other ports to 25 on the other 2 machines (above 3000 for example)

What jlanka is telling you is that when you forward a port on your router, you can forward it to only one ip address and therefore to only one computer. So if you wish to access your 3 computers using Telnet, then you will need to take 3 ports and forward each one to a different IP.

In ancient times they had no statistics so they had to fall back on lies
