At first I thought I was in trouble, because I couldn't forward ports for file sharing, since the Aliant firmware on the Speedstream 4200 wouldn't support any of that stuff. Aliant tech support told me they didn't support opening up ports, telnet, ftp, file sharing, etc.
But then I read about setting up pppoe connections in XP and Vista, and that did it - I'm probably not describing it quite right, but it causes the 4200 to act like a modem and not a router, 'disabling' the 4200's firewall, opening up any ports I want to configure in Windows Firewall.
