port forwarding

I just got a new Actiontec GT 701 DSL modem/router from Qwest.

I plugged it in, plugged it into my linksys firewall/switch, and all
of my machines were connected and working...

I could use some help with moving outside traffic into my server...

I had a cisco 675 before the actiontec and this was very simple to do,
but now it seems a bit more difficult.

My internal ip address (between the Actiontec and the linksys
firewall) is 192.168.0.4, I went into the actiontec setup screens,
told it to forward port range 9001 to 9001 to 10.0.0.4, and told the
internal linksys firewall to forward ports 9001 to my server, but I do
not seem to get routes into the server.

Is port forwarding different in the actiontec?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

came with it....."

This is a LINUX newsgroup and not "I have some random xyz router which I am
struggling to do port forwarding with".

Sure we have 'networking' in the name, however that does not mean just
because IP (or other strange types of packets....) packets pass through it
means its our domain. Call the manufacturer; I work on some ISP helldesk
firewall and from what I know Actiontec have some pact with the devil (aka
AOL) and so there is a phone number somewhere.

Please do not phone your ISP unless:

a) you have tried your hardest
b) you have a pointer to a manual they can download
c) you have tried phoning the MANUFACTURER's support line, regardless of cost
you bought the kit[1]

Only when you have done the obove three you are allow to grovel for help from
the ISP support team. Sure you can call before however any self respecting
PFY/BOFH will make sure at least 5% of your TCP packets 'disappear'....

[1] remember calling your ISP for help with a router is like calling the
manufacturer of your cooker for 'support' as you cannot cook! Or
your washing powder manufacturer because your washing machine is
broken.
