Re: [Modem] Motorola 2210 doesn't respond to ping
said by wayjac  :The "bellsouth" user interface displays more if not all of the router options. It may be that the setting you need is labeled with a term other than "ping" and its overlooked Can you give more details about your "(which has some other issues)" comment It didn't give the public IP address to the computer. It kept renewing the 192.168.1.64 address all the time. But I was able to get out to another machine on the Net, and try the ping from there.
While the bellsouth interface has more options, I didn't see anything ping or ICMP related.
I think the "bellsouth" gui is your last option before bridge mode or replacing the modem
The 2wire 2701HG-B supports wpa-psk and wpa2-psk authentication it also has a "dmzplus mode" where one computer shares the public ip address
Thanks for the info. Looks like it fits my requirements then. I won't use the wireless, though, since I already have an internal wireless WPA setup. |

Indy | So.....the speedstream 4100 only blocks outbound IPv6 packets
The motorola 2210 blocks icmp pings |

But it let inbound tunneled IPv6 packets through, as tcpdump showed.
Another modem I tried was a D-Link 2320B. Ping worked, and it gave the WAN IP to the local computer, but with a DHCP lease renewal time of 15 seconds, not changeable of course...
All I need is a DSL modem that lets all packets through, and allows me to get the WAN IP address on the local computer, with a reasonable DHCP lease time.
Not too much to ask, I think  |
