Linksys Cable/DSL router & external IP filtering?

[Jerry Feldman]

Most likely you will be out of luck with these. You probably want a more 
sophisitaced router/firewall. The cablemodem/dsl routers are simple NAT 
boxes with no real routing capability. I would look at some of the SOHO 
firewalls out on the market.
