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.
