FWIW, I just checked my Linksys cable modem router/firewall. It contains
a web interface on the "inside," and optionally the "outside" port as well.
My box is set up to disable remote management.
However... it is clearly messed up. The "advanced" menu is essentially
missing, many of the buttons are ineffectual (e.g., when I tried to check
the logs it was nonresponsive, ditto some help menus and other controls),
etc.
I don't *know* that "Code Red" caused this, but the timing is suspicious.
And annoying, since I disabled "remote maintenance" specifically to avoid
this type of problem.
