I found a program that works great! It combines HTTP with browser upload. The only problem is, if I hook it up to the PC through the just the Modem, it works great, but if I hook it up via router, I get trouble. I forward the TCP and UDP port (1776) to the PC with the correct address, and I even have the PC in a DMZ, but the HTTP Server Program gives a 501 error.

Also, disabling the firewall did not seem to help.

Here is the link for the program in case it helps: LINK

Also, if I take a dummy PC (sole purpose is to serve files) and place it outside the LAN between the modem and the router, that would work, right? What would I have to do for this besides hook up the PC with two NIC's and enable Internet Connection Sharing, if anything? Also, will ICS interfere at all with VPN's? I don't think it would but my dad uses ILX Workstation, a stock program, and it uses I think a secure vpn.

Thanks,
