Mikeal, First off, you need to map the port 80 to your internal IP (192.168.1.x) -- default for Linksys. Then you need to check the outside to make sure it works. Then contact Verizon and verify you can do what you are doing. Then you need a DNS server, I will provide this for you for a few months for free, to make your IP address an FQDN (fully qualified domain name). Now that you have that done you are pretty much good to go, but if you do this after Verizon says you have to pay more to do it you stand to lose your internet connection and possibly have legal proceedings. I just recently finally avoided that with TimeWarner. Better safe than sorry, if you know what I mean. Any further questions please contact me off list. -- Ryan -- Ryan Coleman Coleman Web / Internet Services http://coleman-web.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] (612) 378-7901 Get your email address through lemlists.com for only $5/year. http://lemlists.com/email/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
