Jon, The trouble with port forwarding on this particular network is that everyone on it shares a single IP address. Port 80 and 22 are already forwarded to Personal Telco routers/servers that manage this network. As for your offer of assistance, we're always looking for eager volunteers. Please come to a weekly or monthly meeting and introduce yourself.
