I have a USR Sureconnect 9003 (an ADSL router / firewall). For "normal" use it's working fine.

However, I want to do some setup to permit a specific incoming connection (RDP in to one of my PCs). I am with BT, and have a dynamic public address.

When I look at the firewall setup, the fields required kinda imply I need to have a STATIC pulic address: I can't believe that the unit's design won't support inbout PAT with a dynamic...

So, anyone got any experience setting up a 9003's firewall? I can understand Cisco Pix firewalls (well, there's plenty of decent documentation around for it!) but the 9003 is not very obvious!

(Don't worry abouy my connecting to my dynamic address: I'll use No-IP or similar to give a dynamic DNS)
