MN-700 v WRT54GS

[-Draino-]

Not sure if I am missing something here but with my MN-700 I was able to
"TRULY" forward ports. I could forward port 3389 to port XXXX. This way when
I did a Remote Desktop to my home machine the IP would look something like
this: 24.44.157.67:XXXX - NOT 3389. I really miss that feature and I can't
seem to find a way to make that happen with my new Linksys. I tried the Port
Trigger menu but no luck there, am I not seeing something?


Thank

Your talking about port redirection. I think your right though in that port
redirection does not seem to be available for your router. I suggest posting
to the http://www.linksysinfo.org forums for expert help...

By the way you have it a bit backward. You would redirect TCP Port XXXX to
TCP Port 3389 through the router. The addressing would then be
12.34.56.78:XXXX from a remote location.
