Setting up home server on Qwest is fairly straightforward.
Set up your server with a static ip on the lan, configure that ip as
the DMZ server in the modem's configuration.
This has the effect of forwarding ALL traffic reaching the ip of the
Modem to the local ip, so make sure you've locked down your machine
before you hook it up, even high numbered ports will be reachable from
the outside, so make sure webmin and things like it are not listening
on the outside interface.
set up a cronjob to handle updating dynamic dns every few minutes, or
spring for a static ip.

Hi folks.
I am finally (!) getting broadband out here in sticksville, and
wanted to ask for some guidance from any of us who has extensive
experience with Qwest DSL.
I plan to run an SME (ex.e-smith) server and gateway, and wonder if
Qwest uses PPPoe or does it look like a standard network gateway.
I am very excited about finally getting some decent bandwidth, and
will be pleased to get off the satellite internet when my contract
expires. Although I have been very pleased with Wild Blue it does not
compare with 1.5Mbps DSL.
Thanks.
Jim
