| Jimmy,
| Concerning my second question, I did what you told me
| to, and it now works. Thanks!
| But for the second one, how do I go about fowarding ports
| to this comp? I have a linksys router, but there is no
| computer attached to it. Show I hardwire one up to it and
| get into it's settings? And once there, what do I do?
| Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your
| response.
| Sincerely,
| Michael Friedrich
