Re: [Modem] Motorola 2210 doesn't respond to ping
said by wayjac  :You should also consider a used speedstream 5100b, 4100 or 4100b dsl modem one may be a better fit Well, I still have a Speedstream 4100. That started the whole issue, because the Speedstream doesn't let outbound tunneled IPv6 packets through. The Motorola does. |

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  |
