I don't have a linksys, I have a Network Everywhere, but it has an option to disallow administration from the WAN port. Of course, the built-in webserver on it isn't on the default port 80, either. Doesn't the linksys have a similar option? Ben -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
