If I turn on Apache and forward port 80 from the linksys to 192.168.1.101, I can serve up pages. I even put 192.168.1.101 in the DMZ of the linksys unit and still no SSH. For a few days I had ssh on 22 and then found out that they block port 22 for some reason. I then switched SSH to 21 and then 80 and still no dice.
