Qwest/Actiontec/Cisco/Server issues

Hi Eric,

Though I set up several Actiontecs so far, I have been fortunate that the
needs have been very basic: a single dynamic or static IP address on the ISP
end and basic needs on the LAN, using DHCP to assign 192.168.0.0/24 IP
addresses and NAT for Internet access... The additional discussion has been
enlightening for me.

Thanks.
