You can run a webserver off this modem because I have done so (also on a [ADSL] connection with a dynamic [IP] (thanks to http://no-ip.com). Search the Dlink site for a [PDF] manual called "DSL-302G_Open.ports_and_DMZ.pdf". (or email me and I will flick you the [PDF])
The open port connects to my Linux box (FedoraCore 3) that serves the webserver. I had to run through a proxy server to locally view the pages on my other PC.<br>
A link for the above is http://www.dlink.com.au/tech/drivers/files/modems/DSL-302G_Open.ports_DMZ.zip

+There is one thing missing, at least for xtra.co.nz users: Port forwarding or open ports does not work with Firefox. That is what I found out after hours of unsuccessful tries, all bounced with "Method not implemented". It has to be Internet Explorer. But that does not need to pose an impediment for Linux users. An easy way to install IE6 for such purposes is provided by http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation
Edit: additional by Chris Emery, UK: [NAT] stops all incoming connections by default, but most routers, including this one, support a method called Port Forwarding ([NAPT]) which basically sets an instruction that certain ports are always referred to a certain machine (set a fixed [IP] address relative to the router for this to work!). Port Forwarding allows a firewall to be selectively opened up, so for example, remote admin ports wouldn't reach your PC but web serving ports (8080?) would.
