Hello all, been searching my eyes out tying to find some info, and these forums kept coming up...figured I'd go ahead and ask here!

I have a Cisco 678 DSL modem, PPP mode, NAT enabled, DHCP server disabled. What I am trying to do, is get my Sun Sparc Server 1000 viewable to the web, FTP, Telnet, HTTP. The Cisco connects to a Linksys Wireless Router. The Linksys has DHCP disabled as well, and has the Sun box in the DMZ.

Problem: Even after manually adding NAT entires to the Cisco, my outside ftp requests don't ever make it to the Sun box. Just from link light activity, it *looks* like the Cisco is forwarding the packets...but the Linksys isn't passing it on. I am not sure on this though. Snooping the interface on the Sun box shows no incoming activity on port 21. Now, I am NOT using a static IP from my ISP on the Cisco...is this my problem? I would hope there was a way around this...the Cisco seems pretty good on functionality, but I have no idea how to go about properly setting it all up. I have played and played....to no avail. Suggestions/comments welcome. I would like to avoid static IP from my ISP, as it is cheaper and easier to go with a service like
Eric
