this what I did:1. Disable firewall on router (D-Link)2. Place Netgear WiFi on DMZ (settings at Dlink router)3. Place atcom on DMZ (settings at Netgear router)Dlink does not have more then one Lan ports so I can't connect atcom to DLink.

Not sure what could be the reason...

But you can work even without disaling the firewall. Just put the phone in DMZ.

DMZ is an exception in a firewall, e.g. a PC (or any other device) which router will "expose" to public net. That device can can accept incoming connection for both TCP and UDP from net.

An update on running my website on MTNL DSL. Noticed that MTNL provides fixed IP for 1k per year. Will be helpful.For now I have setup a Linux slice on top of Win XP. I hope the PC will be able to handle load of a light website + day to day usage (Outlook+Firefox+Office+JBuilder+MySQL). Increased RAM to 1 GB (can't afford spending more then that on a hobby). Have signed up for Dynamic IP DNS for my domain name from dyndns.org. I finally managed to trim Linux server to just 120 MB (it is derived from Slackware, has Apache, MySQL PHP and some other goodies). I do not need email server and spanassasin yet. Have throttled the Linux slice to not Use more then 128 kbps of download bandwidth (IPTABLE rocks). Limited Linux Slice to Use 256 MB RAM, rest of the RAM will be available to Windows XP. So even if my server gets hacked XP should be safe and keep running. Hopefully I will be able to setup things by end of this Month. If things go smooth then I will add a new 120 GB HDD and allow Linux slice to use it. I can sell 120 GB Web space that I got for nothing (kidding). With this setup, ultimately if I am able to share 2 GBs of photographs that I have accumulated in last 8 years with friends and family that would be great. Being in Mumbai, I am not too worried about power cut so covered on that front.

netfreak, one question though. You have only 1 machine right? How have you setup Linux "on top of WinXP"? Are you using Virtual PC or something similar? How much did you get the RAM for? I want to upgrade too! I just have 256MB
