    I read somewhere, maybe this echo, that you can stack routers if you
    run out of ports to forward. My router is a Netgear WNDR3700, with the capability to forward 20 ports only. I'm running 2 BBS's on 2 seperate machines, and I'm out of ports. Can 2 routers be wired in series to
    open more ports. I know there is a software fix to open more ports, but the last time I tried that, I bricked my router. Any Ideas.

    Why stack routers... just get a switch...

    Hi Bill,
    He does not need more physical ports he needs to be able to forward
    more ports to two different machines for different things thats uses certain ports. So a switch would not help him with this problem.


    My mistake... thought he needed more physical ports... :)
