I've just bought a DLink DSL-504 router off ebay, and am having a lot of
troubles with it. I've got it working with no firewall enabled - ie. I can
use the internet on all computers on my home network. However, the
interface for configuring the firewall is so un-intuitive! Has anyone any
experience in setting this firewall up? I want to have everything blocked -
except certain specified ports (for now, let's just say port 80), and only
on a certain computer on the network. How would I do this? I found one
example on the internet, but that has the subnet mask as 0,0,0,0 on some of
the options. On my version, there is no 0,0,0,0 in the combobox.

I've also tried downgrading the firmware to the version we use at work (the
firewall page is completely different). But halfway through the firmware
upload a popup box says "Upload Failed". I've tried various firmwares, and
they all fail! Anyone experience this?

Below is a link to a screenshot of the firewall configuration page. Ignore
the values I've already put in - I was just playing around trying to get it
to work.

Thanks for any help with this, as it's driving me nuts! :o|
