Ok so I have the wrt54g router from linksys. Firmware Version: v1.02.5 build 002, Jan. 9, 2008

It only has 9 slots for port forwarding. I need many more. I've heard you can get some kind of new software for it called dd-wrt or something (but you have the flash the router?). Is this recommended if you need more port forwarding slots? Note that I don't currently have any problems with the router - I download and upload a lot of content without a hitch and the router performs nicely. I don't want to jeopardize this but I do need more slots.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

yes, gogo ddwrt. its easier than you'd think. go to the website, click your router model. download the firmware.. flash it.. plug in your settings.
