A few suggestions:
I would recommend setting a password for XBMC anyway (do NOT use any special characters). Example, use 'xbmc' for both username and password.
I'm not sure if you turned off all the security just for testing, but if you did it because you're not worried about that system, than change the port forwarding in your Linksys router (turn off forwarding for those ports and just set the IP address of the HTPC system as your "DMZ"). If you plan on turning back on the firewall, anti-virus, etc (which is recommended) you may not want to go the DMZ route.
Although it shouldn't be an issue, you could upgrade to Beta 3 of "Eden" (version 11) which contains a new API and many new features. (Dharma {10.1} and Eden {11} use different forms of communication with external remotes, etc.)
I can probably come up with a few more ideas/suggestions shortly, but I just noticed the time and have to be to the doctors in 10 minutes, so I'll post again a little later with more info if needed.
