3Com Home Ethernet Router - Disabling Firewall - I NEED HELP!!!

[TheLizardMan]

Okay, what do I do to disable the firewall? Also.. is the new SMC firmware what I should use or what? As you might know I got this at Tiger for pretty cheap after 3com stopped supporting it.

In most of these broadband routers the "firewall" is simply Network Address Translation (NAT). It's integral to the device itself and is the feature that allows multiple PC's to share a single Internet connection using one IP address. You really can't turn it off, unfortunately.

what exactly do you mean by disabling the firewall and WHY would you want to do it?
