Every Linksys router I've ever owned including the $40 Walmart specials can do port forwarding out of the box.

OK, you want to forward a port on the external interface to a different port on the inside network. I've never heard that called "private port forwarding" before, but now that you've clarified what you're trying to do, it makes sense. Unfortunately, I don't know of any off-the-shelf routers that do that. You've found that your D-Link won't. I just confirmed that my Linksys won't either, and neither do any of the Belkin or Microsoft routers I've seen. It's easy to do with iptables or pf, of course, but then you either get to set up a PC to do your routing, or run something like pfSense or m0n0wall on a Soekris (not that that's bad, but it's more work to set up than a COTS router.) Doubtless Cisco would be happy to sell you a router that can do it, too, but it won't be in the D-Link price range. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
