Still have heard nothing from Belkin Tech Support.  Read about My Arrangement so that you understand what I am trying to accomplish with a router.

Boxed up and going back to the store.

This router is even worse than the Siemens Speed Stream 2624.

Again, problems with Virtual Serving port 80.  The remote management port is 80.  Instead of my web server responding to port 80 requests, the remote management screen for the router shows up!  What a piece of junk.  And when I try to remap web - port 80 internal to match port 81 external, the setting is not retained.  The ports seem like they have to match.

Issue submitted to Belkin Technical Support:

What a piece of junk this is!

I just purchased the F5D6231-4 Wireless Router primarily to share a dynamic IP Internet connection to several computers in my household, as well as provide routing to a several websites I host on an internal server
http://thealdens.org
http://aldentechnology.com

I set up the router tonight and tried to map port 80 internally & externally to my server. Unfortunately, each time I accessed my domain names, instead of taking me to the appropriate website that I am hosting, it routed me to the routers remote management screen! Unbelievable!

Any solution for this before I box it up, and return it to the store?
