[Cialug] Help with ActionTec Config? -- It or it's owner appear to be confused ...

[Jonathan Bailey]

2 things....

1) I've got the same issue. There isn't much you can do (I think). You 
could possibly run your own DNS internally and make it authorative for 
the domains you're hosting (and point to the internal IP).

2) If you do port forwarding, always use the advanced config. It works 
MUCH better for some reason.
