Router recommendations

[Joe Crown]

The problem is on it going back.  Because the cheap router will see the 
server sending out on port 80 & will assume that it should continue on 
port 80 all the way to the other computer.  The only solutions are the 
expensive routers or turn a computer into a router.  either way it costs 
a bunch of money.

By the way both my Microsoft MN-500 & my Actiontec GT701-WG have the 
option to change what port the inbound request is going to.  The only 
problem is the program by default sends on the port it was changed to & 
the other computer is most likely ignoring that port.
