FiOS/networking question

[jsf]

This is getting better all the time..

Ok, i think i figured out, on the D-Link interface, how to
port-forward ports 80 and 22, so, from outside my network (tested it
from grace.speakeasy.net) i can ssh to and open a web page on the SuSE
box on my internal network!

I'm still trying to figure out how to lock down the Linksys WRT54G...
can't seem to figure out how to bring up its webpage ...oh wait... i
see... DHCP is already turned off there...

If I turn off DHCP on the D-Link.. so... I guess I should create
static DHCP addresses for our machines and turn off DHCP on the
D-Link... that's the only way to 'secure' the Linksys WRT54G.. right?
