A. You need to enter the IP address of the WAN location from where
you plan to remotely administer the router. If you do not know the IP
beforehand, then you can set the remote management value to 0.0.0.0 and
this will command the router to allow ANY machine access to the router (of
course the user must know the password in order to log in and change any
settings). To actually access the router web console, you need to type in the
router’s WAN IP (shown on the Status page) and type :8080 afterwards. (i.e. -
http://24.24.24.24:8080)

This does not allow you to access machines behind the router. In order to
accomplish that feat, you would have to install server software on that
computer (i.e. – ftp, web, or pc anywhere server)

Q. How can I get a Multi Homed server to be accessible from the LAN
side of the Barricade?

Let's say you have 2 or more websites running off of one server and people from
the internet side of the Barricade can get to the websites fine by typing in the
Domain name. You will not be able to reach the website from the LAN side by
doing the same. Even typing the IP address on the LAN side will bring up some
default Microsoft page given by the program used to create the websites. The
problem was the internal routing of the DNS.

This situation is also known as a (Multi Homed) setup, which is basically multiple
domain names hosted by one server.

A. Create a "Hosts" file in the default windows directory and point the IP
address to the domain name.

The entries look like this:
192.168.2.XXX www.computeresources.com
192.168.2.XXX www.computerIO.com
192.168.2.XXX www.computerwhatever.com
