Where does MS come into it then?
Apache has a proxying capability, so you could connect to the web server on your pc, and depending on your url proxy it to the Zyxel.
The thing is this opens up all kinds of security holes, and people start using your webserver as a proxy. I tried using it to talk to the web interface on my Tivo. In the end I just enabled passwords on the Tivo, and set up port forwarding on my linux machine.
I'll look into that, thanks, maybe it can be tied down to just the one IP address or something.
My turn for a question now...
Is the Zyxel modem any good? Does it do PPPoA to PPTP relaying? Currently I'm using an Alcatel Speedtouch Pro, using the relaying function so my Linux PC gets the IP address. I was thinking about replacing it with the Zyxel when it eventually dies, not that it's showing any signs of sockness at the moment :-)
It seems pretty good, the manuals and everything are available from the Zyxel web site (I think, some systems are down here at work and I can't get to the web at the moment). So you can get the full manual and look for yourself. The firewall is pretty comprehensive and easy to configure as well plus NAT is also quite comprehensive.
