Well I'm fucking lazy and I just let my DMZ and auto-forwarding handle everything.

My ISP's modem has the router built in and I don't think they'd be any too pleased for me to start swapping out firmware.

Lol, u dont want to tell me that u have ur PC in ur DMZ right ?!
Server is fine for DMZ but never put ur PC in it...
And yeah UPNP can manage a lot of Portforwarding, but always with a little secruity risk, unless u have it in safe mode... but thats not the point of QoS.

And btw u cant flash any open source fw to a Router with modem built in.
U will need a dedicated modem in any case...
Which ISP Modem/Router u got ?
:wink:

Actually I have like 20 devices on my home network and an open wireless AP that I let my neighbors use, which is why I have DMZ setup. Networking was never really my Forte, I can install a server and get entire buildings with 50+ machines running but I'm not really that well versed with the advanced logistics of it all.

My router/modem is a Zyxel Q1000z through Century Link. I'm sort of tempted just to use it as a modem and hook up my old setup to it which consisted of a cisco wireless router with a dedicated linux box that functioned as a storage server and packet shaping. It was probably sort of specious, but the only spare machine I had had a dual core and the works so I thought that was sort of stupid for a storage box and I installed it between the router and the modem.

I'm lazy as fuck, though, and it's doing what I need it to as is.
