Ok, since I'm having trouble with fetchmail, I'll go ahead and reply to the responses I got to this which I read on the marc.theaimsgroup.com mail archive. Yes, I went ahead and forwarded port 80 to 192.168.1.222, which isn't either of the two computers I've got on my network (192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101). Is that ok? As for making routers accessible from the outside, do you mean typing my non-local (global?) IP address (68.203. something) into the browser and configuring my router from somewhere outside my network? Is that what the danger with leaving port 80 open is? -- Marc Adler -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
