Linksys BEFSR81 and remote logins?

[Jerry Feldman]

Yes. First, for each box you want to telnet or ssh to, you need to set up 
forwarding of the port. This requires that you set up a static ip address 
for the boxes you want to telnet or ssh to. Normally, the Linksys box uses 
192.168.1.100 as the first dhcp IP address, so you should assign a static 
address of 192.168.1.x to those boxes (where x is 2 <= x < 100).  Then log 
into the linksys box, click on advanced, then click on forwarding. The 
forwarding menu is straight forward. You can forward any port. You can also 
assign one of the hosts as a DMZ host. You also should be running firmware 
rev. 1.37 or later.  I don't recall which, but either 1.35 or 1.36 had a 
serious bug in it.
