I'm kind of wondering about the above question myself since I just signed up. I figured I'd just put the modem into bridge mode and use my router (wrt54g) for everything, but apparently this "DMT" util needs to talk directly to your modem in order to function and if it's looking at the bridged address it won't work huh?
In that case if your modem has the option for a DMZ you could just DMZ all traffic from the modem to the router and then on the router use dhcp etc as normal. That way you won't have to do the double port forwarding. |

It does solve port forwarding but I consider option 2 to be much better, that's how I have it setup. In the long run it will just have fewer issues. All that is lost is 2 LAN ports, and switches are cheap these days.

All that is lost is 2 LAN ports, and switches are cheap these days. I only have a need for 1 wired connection everything else is wireless. I might try your idea although it seems weird that everyone would need to do this? Or is it only for people who want to run the DMT utility? |
