»How to connect 701 in bridged mode?
1. Hookup modem directly to ethernet connection
2. Type 192.168.0.1 into internet explorer window address bar
3. Select advanced setup
4. On first screen, click next
5. Next screen will give you option of RF1483 bridge mode, PPPoE or PPPoA. Select RF1483. All other option and menu selections will be disabled after this. Remember, you are making the 701 a "dumb" modem. It will do nothing else but pass packets along.
6. Select save and restart. Wait for it to finish. Modem is now a pure dumb mode.
7. Into the LAN interface of the 701 plug your router of choice and set it up for PPPoE authentication.
This is all dependent on whether your ISP will allow PPPoE. (Qwest.net does support PPPoE in all areas now.) If not, your out luck and gotta stick with PPPoA and set the 701g into DMZ mode and do double NATing.
Note if you have the M1000 modem you can follow Qwest's instructions for setting it up here:

701g DMZ setup
1. Go to the Actiontec's menu of 192.168.0.1
2. Go into advance setup
3. Click through menu's and select DMZ
4. Give the WAN interface of the router an IP from the subnet range of the 701g, like 192.168.0.50
6. Enter that IP in the DMZ zone of the 701g
7. Disable DHCP and wireless on the 701g, as its essentially gonna doing nothing more then passing all packets to the router
8. Save settings on 701g
Router Setup
1. Enter menu of router and put in the IP you selected on DMZed section of the 701g in the WAN interface of the router (192.168.0.50 in this case)
2. Setup the rest of your portfowarding, static routing ect. that you need to do
3. Save settings on your router
...and you should be good to go!
Added:
Additional steps if your router has a LAN IP address of 192.168.0.1:
1. Enter the menu of the router by going to 192.168.0.1
2. Change the router's LAN address to 192.168.1.1
3. Save settings on your router
4. Change your computer's IP address so that it will be in the 192.168.1.XXX subnet, so something like 192.168.1.10. (Do not use 192.168.1.1 for your computer's IP address!)
5. Enter the menu of the router by going to 192.168.1.1
6. Setup the port forwarding to your computer's new IP address.
7. Save settings on your router
...and you should be good to go!

Open 192.168.0.1 in your web browser.
Click setup configuration.
On the left click advanced setup.
Click the begin advanced setup button.
On the left click port forwarding.
Where it says IP port range in the first box type 6881 and in the second box type 6999. Leave the drop down as TCP and in IP address type the IP address of the computer, probably 192.168.0.2.
Click the add button.
On the left click save and restart.
Click the save and restart button.
Wait for the modem to reboot and you are all set.
This should give you your green light in Bittorrent.

If you are running windows you need to start a command prompt window. You can do this by clicking on "Run" from the start menu and then typing in "cmd" in the "open" box, and then clicking OK.
In the command prompt window that is started you would type "telnet 192.168.0.1" (substitute the local IP address of your modem if you aren't using the default address).
You should then see this prompt: "BusyBox on dslmodem login:". Enter "admin" and hit return. You will be prompted for a password. Enter "admin" for the password. You will now be logged into your modem.
You would then type "cd /var/log" to change to the /var/log directory. You can then type "cat messages" to blast the contents of the messages file to the screen.
UPDATE:
Apparently Actiontec has added it to the firmware as a somewhat hidden option:
As seen in this post by ewth8tr : »is there a "log" in the gt-701modem
Here is the url for the log via the web interface Actiontec hid it on the new firmware along with the OAM ping test:
192.168.0.1/support/utilities
It gives you exactly what telneting into the modem gives you.

To reset your Actiontec GT701 modem to it's factory default settings:
With the modem powered up and the first 3 lights green, push AND HOLD the little reset button on the back of the modem until all the lights go out and just the power light goes red.
Release the button and wait till the first 2 lights are green.
You should NOW be able to access the modem via the ethernet cable. Hopefully when you plug the computer into it via ethernet, the 4th light will go green. The 3rd may be blank or red because the user name doesn't exist any longer.
