My point was that unless LinkSys has come a long ways with it's products, I don't think they support ACL's, but only basic filtering.
Yes, basic filtering and routing can be considered a firewall implementation, but it is rarely considered the best choice. Of course, this all depends on one's needs and resources - if that's all you can afford, then perhaps it IS the best solution. However, if one wanted to implement a full blown firewall system, then filtering and routing would be one of perhaps 20 steps in the solution. My thoughts.... Shawn Grover (PS.
