For xmas, I got a Linksys WRV54G Wireless VPN Router. I set it up and it worked good, wireless worked, wired work, etc. You are supposed to be able to use it as a VPN endpoint, so I decided to try it.
First thing I did, was upgrade the firmware. I was running 2.10. I downloaded [...]

Are Internet Service Providers dumb? Why when end users call in for tech support on their connection, the first thing they get told is to “turn off your firewall”. Are you kidding me?
