Yea, everyone can see the status page.

I have port forwarding on so when I want a client to see something on my
computer - they can. When I turned it off, the default linksys setup I
thought was to just show a 404 page - or something along those lines.

Smart forwarding???
I got the same ddwrt page from a friends house this morning as I do from
here when I access my url without port forwarding on.

I think I see what you are saying on forwarding to a empty ip... if I do
that then it cant be found either way - right.
