http://danasoft.com/ and https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2
both tell  me that my IP address is 69.68.113.224


I'm going to show some of the setting. Maybe you can spot something to 
get me back on the right tract.

Using the command line 'dsndomainname -i' tells me this computer is 
'192.168.2.2'.
The sign for 'Danasoft' that you put in your signature and 
http://www.grc.com/default.htm tell me that I am 69.68.113.224.

  DMZ
The DMZ feature allows you to specify one computer on your network to be 
placed outside of the NAT firewall. This may be necessary if the NAT 
feature is causing problems with an application such as a game or video 
conferencing application. Use this feature on a temporary basis. The 
computer in the DMZ is not protected from hacker attacks. To put a 
computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its IP address in the 
field below and select "Enable". Click "Submit" for the change to take 
effect. More Info

      IP Address of Virtual DMZ Host >
      Static IP    Private IP    Enable
1.   192.168.1.2   192.168.2.3   Enabled


This one I did not completly understand or even if it would apply.


  Firewall > Virtual servers


      This function will allow you to route external (Internet) calls 
for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or 
other applications through your Router to your internal network. More Info



Add     ( This  looked like a list of online games )
Clear entry
      Enable    Description    Inbound port    Type    Private IP 
address     Private port

       192.168.2.   -
2.                                                      TCP        - 
                    192.168.2.   -


Here is the one change I made to the 'los_fw' file.

start /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport   80 -j ACCEPT   # HTTP




This was in the script file. Does it have any revelance?


  # Grant access to everyone

   start /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p all -j ACCEPT
   start /sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -p all -j ACCEPT
   ;;


Anyone got any idea what I need to do to get around this dynamic 
connection I  have to the internet?
