I really do understand your problem. When I first got my modem and tried shields up it revealed a few gaping holes. My problem was how to plug them and where to get the info from about how to do it. I have quite a few Linux books, even one called the Linux Administrators Guide, but none of them told me what I need. The problem is none of them seem to cover the specifics of of present day routers, most of which seem to run Linux anyway. In the end I did a lot a googling and asking dumb questions on the UK adsl group until I finaly found what I needed. So if you DO find a good book that covers this sort of thing, let meknow, becasue I want one too.
