Re: [Modem] Motorola 2210-02-1006 H E L P I just got the 2210-02-1006 back from my friend that I gave it to when a power surge took out his 2241N-006 and the port forwarding part works significantly different from the Westell 6100. Who would have thought it. It works like Netopia port forwarding works but with the "New Style" Westell interface. It's kind of stupid the way that you got to set it up with multiple ranges of ports to open for one application, way harder than the Westell way of setting it up. Netopia port forwarding is not something I mess with everyday and definitely not doing it through a Westell style interface. I have done port forwarding with Netopia's before, it just not something I fool with a lot.
I run a Netopia 3347NWG-006 ADSL2+ Wireless Gateway and I don't use port forwarding, I use the dreaded and hated UPnP that eats newborn babies. All of my applications work with and are properly set up to use UPnP, but there are a lot of things that don't work with UPnP and people are scared of UPnP so I don't recommend using it to people.
Hang in there fellow. I'm working on it for you and a couple of other people too. I got a four port switch plugged up behind it with a Vista computer, XP Pro computer, and a Xbox 360 (because some people are having problems with strict NAT on Xbox Live, Netopia's have symmetric NAT and not full cone NAT) but I had bad luck with with my Xbox 360, the "Red Ring of Death" got it.
Don't give up. I'm still working on the 2210-02-1006 but I got to pay the bills and put the bacon on the table too.
I just got a call to go do some work so I can pay the bills and put the bacon on the table, so I got to be going.
Say fellow, will you open your application up and verify what ports it is set to use, please?

Edit about the Static IP address: A single Static IP address is free with Xtreme 3.0 and Xtreme 6.0, all you have to do is add it to your account.
Business users can get a free single Static IP address or five Static IP addresses, But you are not a business user are you?
There is also the dyndns.com service that you could use and things similar.
Edit about the IP Passthrough thing: If your computer has a good software firewall then it won't be naked on the Internet. | |
| Airwolf7, The program uses 911 for video and 912 for audio. I have the 1.5 DSL so, what do you recommend on the static IP.
Thanks,
David | |

1 edit | If you can't get static free, give DynDNS a try. I use it for hosting a mail server on my dynamic IP address connection. For we 'at&t Yahoo! HSI' customers, static is not free, it is a /29 block of IP addresses (eight, total, five usable) and costs around $80 a month (actual price depends upon the speed tier; which is different from the way you have it in AT&T Southeast).

This is what I would. I would upgrade to Xtreme 3.0 and get the optional free Static IP address because it only costs five more dollars a month.
1. You will get a 50% increase in your upstream bandwidth which is helpful for your webcam viewing. Xtreme 3.0 is 384kbps upstream vs Ultra's 256kbps upstream.
2. You will get a real Static WAN IP address that does not change and you don't have to fool with setting up any software or relying upon a third party to make sure that you WAN IP address gets updated.
That's a lot of positive benefits for only five dollars.
There may be a problem with this idea because I remember that you mentioned that your WAN IP address was changing a lot and that should not be happening unless the modem is re-syncing or you manually restart it. Maybe your modem's Connection Type is set to "On-Demand" instead of "Always ON" and maybe this is causing your WAN IP address to change. I have never ran one set to "On-Demand" so I don't know what that does about the WAN IP address.
You need to post your DSL Statistics Page so we can get an idea about whether or not it looks like you can upgrade to Xtreme 3.0 and you need to check online at the manage your account site to see if you can upgrade to the Xtreme 3.0 tier. I can't remember where it is that you go to manage your account where it show you what plan you have and can upgrade to, maybe someone will point that out for us. I will try to find it again because I have not been there for a long while.
One more thing while I'm at it, did your equipment come with any documentation and does it mention what ports need to be open? I think we know it needs TCP Ports 911-912 but I still don't know about TCP Ports 913 and 80. | |

Norman, I sure hope that they don't take away our free Static IP address with Xtreme 3.0 and Xtreme 6.0.
I don't have a free Static IP address at home on my Residential FastAccess account because I have not yet needed one, but I do have the Multi-Static IP addresses on my Business FastAccess accounts. I going to get me one real soon because I'm redoing my home network and adding a Windows Home Server and I'm going to want one for that plus I'm scared that if I don't get one real quick that I'm not going to have that option in the near future and I think that if I get one now that AT&T Southeast will let me keep it if they change things in the future.
I hope that they can see how nice it is for us to have and when they get us fully merged into AT&T that they let everybody with AT&T get one that wants one or at least buy one Static IP address for cheap.
When you merge things you are supposed to take the best things from the two and combine them together to make one better whole. But mergers don't work like that anymore, merger means "I bought you and I got you now".
BellSouth did some things better than SBC and SBC did some things better than BellSouth and they aught to be able to make one better company by putting them together. I know that there were other companies that was merged into SBC but BellSouth was a big one and if the BellSouth CEO would not have been so timid it could have easily went the other way and I sometimes think that it might have been better that way. Sometimes people over here in the BellSouth region complain about things but they just don't know how good they have it here.
Sometimes I wish that the merger would have never happened.
I think now that they have us that they are just going to start to nickel and dime us all to death.
All they really wanted was Cingular anyway. Sometimes I dream that we just take up a collection and buy BellSouth back from them and let them just keep Cingular. I mean just how smart are these SBC people anyway? They changed their name to the most hated name on Earth and then they took Cingular and changed it's name to the most hated name on Earth and then they sucked BellSouth in under the most hated name on Earth. I will chip in my part because BellSouth aught to be a lot cheaper without Cingular.
I know that I'm nuts but I just feel too much uncertainty about this whole thing and I don't even work for them.
------------------------------------------------------------
I'm OK now that I got that craziness out of my head.
Norman I'm with you on the DynDNS if David can't get a real Static IP address. I have used it before and it seemed to work real well.
The Netopia can be set to work with the DynDNS service, but you can't do it through the GUI. You have to set it up through the CLI. There are other things that you can't get to through the GUI that you can get to through the CLI.
When I did use DynDNS I did not do it through the Netopia because I did not know that I could set it up through the CLI so I can not verify that the Netopia's built-in DynDNS client works. | |

1 edit | said by Airwolf7:Norman, I sure hope that they don't take away our free Static IP address with Xtreme 3.0 and Xtreme 6.0. I have heard of legacy Pacific Bell DSL customers who signed up for a single static IP address when that was offered. As long as they don't migrate to 'at&t Yahoo! HSI', they their package is grandfathered in the system. I don't see why AT&T won't do the same in the Southeast region. It is still SBC management, after all.
I'm scared that if I don't get one real quick that I'm not going to have that option in the near future and I think that if I get one now that AT&T Southeast will let me keep it if they change things in the future.
Probably a valid plan.
When you merge things you are supposed to take the best things from the two and combine them together to make one better whole. But mergers don't work like that anymore, merger means "I bought you and I got you now".
Well, SBC did buy two other RBOCs, and a non-RBOC regional ILEC, before they bought AT&T. And they changed everything over to the Southwestern Bell Telephone way of doing things.
BellSouth did some things better than SBC and SBC did some things better than BellSouth and they aught to be able to make one better company by putting them together. I know that there were other companies that was merged into SBC but BellSouth was a big one and if the BellSouth CEO would not have been so timid it could have easily went the other way and I sometimes think that it might have been better that way. Sometimes people over here in the BellSouth region complain about things but they just don't know how good they have it here.
Sometimes I wish that the merger would have never happened.
At one time, SBC was, "Southwestern Bell Telephone", the smallest of the RBOCs. I am not clear on the details of how they came to be in a position to buy Ameritech; I believe Pacific Telesis was bleeding cash in a failed attempt at creating a cable TV service.

I couldn't use my Netgear FVS114 DynDNS client, even if I wasn't running cascaded NAT (SS4100 modem to Netgear FVS114 router); the router client is only certified for Dynamic DNS accounts, not for Custom DNS accounts. With my own domain, I am using their Custom DNS service.
