Linksys Cable/DSL router & external IP filtering?

[Chris Janicki]

You want to prevent outside addresses from getting in to you?  If so, the 
Linksys does that by default... you have to explicitly go to "Advanced" 
tab, then "DMZ" or "Forward" tabs to get an external address through to 
one of your boxes.
