That's because I'm not running the web server portion.  Here's why: I'd 
have to punch a hole in four firewalls (two through the two DMZ routers, 
and two through the LAN routers) to the Windows XP machine running the 
"server".  Then, for all that, since "The Dude" maps all the hosts on 
all the networks I have (15 in the DMZ and 40 in the LAN), those are 
visible in the network map it creates on both networks.  Finally, there 
apparently is no "read-only" web option. Lots of exposure with only 
(apparently) a simple login as protection.

Do you have your own radios and antennas yet?
