Question Router!
If a router is a firewall, is there anyway to deactivaate it? I need to host a server and I cant with my ports closed off because of the router!

Most of the time you can't disable the entire thing. That defeats the purpose of a router. (You would need just a hub). Look in your manual on how to forward ports. For instance, if you have an FTP server on 192.168.0.3, you would forward that IP to port 21 (or whatever port the FTP is on). That way, all incoming traffic to that port would be directed to that machine/ip.

Another option, if your router has it, is to assign the DMZ to one pc (ie: 192.168.0.5) All incoming traffic to non-standard ports would be automagically forwarded there. Just be careful, because this machine will be completely vulnerable to the net!

Hope this helps.
