Ok, back to the saga of the DSL modem, I finally just caved in and kept the DHCP connection with it port forwarding http to my machine on port 80. It has been slow as hell and checking the modem I'm finding another service enabled to passthrough, here it is: Service Name IPSEC ALG Type Port Forwarding Port 1 Protocol TCP/UDP Global Port(s) 500 Base Host Port 500 Port 2 Protocol TCP/UDP Global Port(s) 500 Base Host Port 500 Anyone know what that is?? I didn't set it.
