Hi Roger, thank you for replying. Actually I'd like to access a Postgres db and an ftp server. That's all. All other ports should be invisible from outside. As I can understand from your letter I have to forward those ports which I want to use. Than shouldn't I filter any other ports on the server. How can I forward a port on a swich? (it is actually a box on the table not a computer) And how can I get the IP address of the switch in order to upgrade the DYNDNS account?
