Hi there,
I'm about to embark on port forwarding and setting up a static ip address.
Can anyone tell me in plain English, not how to do this, but whether there is a bad side to it, like will it damage my system, does it leave me open to attack / viruses, will it crash my network and stop it from connecting to the internet
plus
Is it reversible? If it all goes horribly wrong, can I change it back to how it was and would I need to?
Any advice on the pros and cons of static ip addresses / portforwarding would be gratefully received.
All the best
