Help is here...go to your nearest computer store and buy a Linksys cable/dsl
router/firewall. Place it between the cable modem and the Qube. Set the dhcp
on the linksys off. You can set a dmz on the Linksys and set the qube ports,
etc as needed as well. As for hosting, check out TZO which provides front
end domain services for folks with dynamic IP addresses. I run a similar
setup without to many probs. While your at it, buy a book on Linux as you
will need to learn some of it to "tweak" your system. Welcome to our little
cyber-family....
