If they come from your Speedtouch and it converts them to "real" Internet Adresses, this acts in fact as a router. >> If you feel better enabling the firewall on fam, you need to >> allow ssh traffic on port 22 as has already been said in another >> mail.

In case that there are more problems that you encounter or you have more questions, just do not hesitate to ask. This list has only one sole reason for existence: It is here to help people achieve what they are heading for!!!
