Re: Home Routers/Gateways

[Scott Smith <ssmith@siu.edu>]

I've had luck with LinkSys 54G devices.  I can't remember which 
particular model numbers but I've done TCP port forwarding almost 
exactly as you described with no issues.

Also, the IPSec protocol works on these devices (again the ones I've 
used) as there's an IPsec check box.  This basically allows IPSec to 
work properly.  Depending on what encryption protocol your Win Client 
uses this may or may not work the same.
