[rescue] DSL Routers

[Eric Dittman]

I've been using a Linux box to serve as my DSL router and
server.  I wanted to go with an external router that would
still allow access if the server was down and also so I
could start migrating off the Linux box.  I bought a
Linksys BEFSR41, and it works for most things, but I'm
having problems with port forwarding from one incoming
port to a different port (for example, incoming connections
to port 7030 go to port 23 on 192.168.1.30).  This doesn't
always work.  Forwarding without changing the port number
doesn't have a problem.  Also, incoming FTP doesn't work
at all.  I can get the connection, but PASV mode isn't
supported, and turning it off doesn't work.

Are there any of these low-cost external routers that
support port forwarding, NAT, and masquerading?  If
not, I'll have to go back to the Linux box.
