Hi - I have a cable modem that sits "outside" my STN machine. The STN
machine has two NICs - one connected to the cable modem and one
connected to a hub. My ISP provides a software pkg (CCMinfo) that can be
used to check the status of the cable modem (see
http://www.rcn.com/support/internet/pc/faq/general/cable.modem/index.html
for info on this pkg.)
When a machine is connected directly to the cable modem, this pkg works
fine - when STN is "in between" it doesn't - I assume that packets are
either being stopped on the way out, on the way in, or both.
Three Questions: (1) How can I determine what ports to open? (2) Is
there an other solution? (3) Does opening STN to this communication
present any sort of security risk?
Thanks,
...steve...
