liberty3 and liberty5 are wireless. The rest are wired. I don't know the router model off the top off my head (at work). It's one of the 54Mbps "extreme" ones, and it has wired connectors, but I'm not sure if they are a hub or a switch. This router will eventually be replaced with a wl access point and a separate router/firewall(probably liberty4). Maybe now is the time to implement this...
Looks like there are 4 wired 10/100 Ethernet switch ports on the D-Link. Check out the Linksys WRT54 series with Sveasoft firmware replacements and until then use Liberty 4, wired, as the second firewall/router to the other wired machines. You can always use the D-Link as a dumb Ethernet switch when it gets replaced or as another firewall/router elsewhere in the mix.
As for remote root access, that was for example. Obscurity may be weak, but no reason to make it even easier for attackers, right?
Glad I got excited for no reason then. Whew.
Can I specify a port for KIO_Fish? Or will it always use port 22?
The fish protocol uses port 22 by default. In Konqueror you could issue a fish://user@your-DLink's-IP-address:50022 (the port you set on the D-Link that gets forwarded to your server:port on the internal LAN) and you are good to go. Works for me. Then through Samba/NFS/ssh you could access any other machine internally.
Thanks for all your help. At least you like my Kivio skills. :o)
Dang! Forgot to critique that! :) I wanted to change it andange send it back but it was in PDF format instead of Kivio. None too skilled at extracting from PDF into other programs - yet.

So I decided just to change my network around. As I didn't really trust the D-link firewall, I went out and bought a Linksys WRT54g router and installed the dd-wrt firmware. I put liberty1 back on the private network, and just forward port 80 and a port for ssh to liberty1. Thanks for the fish tip. Everything works acceptablely now. Next time I'll publish the Kivio source file as well. :-) -- Mark A. Taff
