Re: [Modem] Motorola 2210 doesn't respond to ping said by jfeise:It didn't give the public IP address to the computer. It kept renewing the 192.168.1.64 address all the time. If you did a release....renew ip address on the computer after setting the modem to ip passthrough/dmz configuration....getting the private ip address is a problem
said by jfeise:While the bellsouth interface has more options, I didn't see anything ping or ICMP related. Yea.... I think its in there somewhere its just not obvious
said by jfeise:Looks like it fits my requirements then. I won't use the wireless, though, since I already have an internal wireless WPA setup. You should also consider a used speedstream 5100b, 4100 or 4100b dsl modem one may be a better fit |

That started the whole issue, because the Speedstream doesn't let outbound tunneled IPv6 packets through. The Motorola does. |

The motorola 2210 blocks icmp pings |

I didn't even try to send IPv6 directly... 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  |

A 15 second lease time means the client is always renewing the lease.........not a good thing
