Re: [HELP] Port Forward (or DMZ) with RV042 said by mjamike:After trying everything I could think of and a couple long conversations with comcast they have decided that they will setup a "dumb" modem instead of the SMC8014 to help solve my problem. I am happy that the port forwarding will work now but I don't like that we were unable to solve the issue with the existing equipment. I assume that you do understand that the cause of your problem lies solely with the Comcast SMC8014 device (or at least Comcast's implementation), and that your Linksys RV042 was in no way at fault?
I have no financial or other interest in coming to the aid of Linksys, but I have had experience dealing with Comcast support (both for my own service and on behalf of clients), and I know that they will almost always attempt to blame an OEM vendor rather than admit that their supplied equipment or their service is at fault (even when replacing their equipment fixes the problem). -- History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. -- Dwight D.
