I am writing this message with the hope that someone on this list has this uverse router.' When I use Firefox to browse to this router (192.168.1.254), it displays the "Home" machines connected to the network. For each machine it displays: a tv icon, it's name, and a link named "Access FIles" and another link named "Device Details".
If I click on any machine's "Acess FIles" link, it displays my Fedora's / directory completely.
I have no ftp daemon running. I have no apache running. In fact I do not have ANY internet server running.
So how in blazes is the router able to display my entire system's files?
If I aim my browser at my own IP address, I get Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.201.
So how is the router doing it? This is a very disconcerting security hole and I have not been able to nail it down to any daemon running on my Fedora.
Thanks for your insights.

Your router isn't displaying the files, your browser is, so it doesn't need a network connection. Though I must admit, I don't know how it's done. Maybe you should examine the html source.
