Well let me first warn the people here the two products I'm going to
mention are not likely to be very popular on this group simply because
of who made them.
The Microsoft MN-100 & MN-500 (I don't know about the MN-700 though as I
didn't support it.). I also have an Actiontec router from Qwest (it is
a DSL modem & router so it might not work for you.). I can have the
ports different, but I don't know if the responding computer is going to
work with it. I'm guessing it would, but it is safer to say I don't
know. One last note with either the MN-100 or MN-500 you want the
firmware version to be either 1.08.003 or 1.11.017. This is because the
versions before 1.08.003 had a ton of problems, the 1.09.* versions were
betas with their own set of problems, & version 1.11.017 was the last
version they ever released back in October of 2003 not to long before
they announced they were going to drop the entire line other then the
MN-740 which is the Xbox wireless adapter.

As I understand the terms, a public port is the one that the Internet
sends to, and the private port is the one (behind the router) that the
server listens on. In my case, I have 2 servers, a Debian
general-purpose webserver and a Suse iFolder server, both behind my
router, which connects to iProvo. Both servers listen on port 80 for
web requests. I would like to make it so that if someone requests
example.com (that is, a standard port 80 HTTP request), the request is
given to the Debian server on port 80. If someone requests
example.com:1001, on the other hand, the request is forwarded to port 80
of the Suse server. I had understood that, in the second case, port
1001 would be called the public port and 80 on the Suse box would be the
private port. My current router will take the example.com:1001 and
forward to port 1001 on the Suse box. Despite D-Link's claims, it will
not forward to port 80 on the Suse server. Naturally, I could just
change the port that the Suse box listens on, but as the services I try
to host on my internal networks increase, that will be become much more
complicated, so I would prefer a single point of configuration. I hope
that's all clear... I'm still a bit new to this sort of configuration,
and my understanding could be wrong. Thanks for the responses--
