Telnet into router from the web..

You'll probably have to telnet to your pc first (using remote desktop, pc anywhere) and then from pc to cisco. That's how i used to do it. There might be another way but i'm not familiar with it. You can try configuring extended access list on the cisco to permit your work ip on eth0 of your cisco through telnet port 23. I don't know if that would work but doesn't hurt to try it. Good luck

im only on semester2 .. so im not that advanced yet :)

i'll have a look at the remote desktop method.. thanks

You need to configure port re-direction on the belkin. Point port 23 to the address of the 2503 and you're done.

You'll also need to configure your terminal lines on your Cisco router with a password and login statement or else you won't be able to login via telnet.

i dont think my belkin has that facility..

i have setup the telnet passwords..

What is the model number of the Belkin router you're using? You should be able to get the manual for it from the vendor web site and confirm this. Many times, it's just a matter of upgrading the firmware/software revision to support any new features. If it doesn't support this feature as is, check for a firmware upgrade.
