The manual of the Linksys is in their website (pdf file). It's
extremely easy to set up but not as flexible as an IP Masquerading
gateway of course. The Linksys can doa DMZ, can do port forwarding to
an ftp/http/etc server, can do port blocking. It cannot do any
logging. For a non-techie, I would recommend it.
