major problems with my linksys router. it seems i can ping my WAN IP address, and port 80 is open on that address.
This means anyone can access my router configuration, assuming they know my password.

This didn't happened before, and im trying to figure out why all of a sudden.
I checked the box that says to block WAN request. remote management is disable.
So why is port 80 open? In the forwarding box, it has nothing there. all defaults to 0.

For about a month now I installed BSD and had an apache server running. So, i DID have port 80 poiint
to that machine, but I stopped it a couple of days ago and took the system offline. SO, i am assuming port
80 is still open somehow. but, how can u ping it and stuff if i blocked wan requests?!

Do you happen to have a DMZ enabled? Also, have you tried resetting the router?
