[cobalt-users] RE: Qube3 - behind a router, behind a router...

["Phil Lewis" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You always have access to your ISP -- you should tell the tech what you're
doing while he's logged in to make the changes.  Alternately, you could buy
your own DSL router rather than using the ISPs; then you have access.

In my view you're a lot better off paying a few more dollars for a range of
IPs and putting that Qube3 on the internet with a routable IP.  It's a
decent firewall if you're using adaptive firewall and have tweaked it
sufficiently.

Good luck,

phil
