[Eug-lug] Qwest DSL

[larry price]

Setting up home server on Qwest is fairly straightforward.

Set up your server with a static ip on the lan, configure that ip as
the DMZ server in the modem's configuration.

This has the effect of forwarding ALL traffic reaching the ip of the
Modem to the local ip, so make sure you've locked down your machine
before you hook it up, even high numbered ports will be reachable from
the outside, so make sure webmin and things like it are not listening
on the outside interface.

set up a cronjob to handle updating dynamic dns every few minutes, or
spring for a static ip.
