Re: How to access my Motorola DSL modem?

Here's one way to do what you want.
On the modems PPP location page:
The modem's mode needs to be PPP is on the modem

On the modems connection configuration page
Enter your username and password.
Set the connection type to Always attempt to connect
Select the option of Yes use public IP address
Save and Restart the modem to save and use the changes
Here's a faq link it may help: Images of the Motorola 2210 and it's GUI

The router's lan ip 192.168.0.1 is ok leave it be.
You will need to change the internet connection type on the dlink it needs to be dynamic ip
Thank you! Took me 5 minutes to do and it works like a charm. Now I do not have the modem in bridged mode. I've read that bridged mode is recommended. Why would that matter?

One more thing. The FAQ you point to in your post lists the modem's firmware version. On my router I have to upgrade firmware from time to time. There's no firmware upgrades for the modem I need to be aware of? I'm new to DSL, so I do not know too much about these things yet.

Bridge mode is a option, use what fits your needs. Someone else may need some program that just will not work with this setup bridge mode is a option.

I doubt that AT&T/SBC will ever issue a software update for this modem it started shipping in October 2007

I have a request
Can you perform a port scan with the modem set to:
No, use private IP address
and
Yes, use public IP address
