If the westell has no dmz option use the static nat option for the linksys

I dont believe the linksys has a static nat option unless i am just missing it.

Does the westell have a ip passthru option If it does use that If there is no dmz/ip passthru option use the static nat option

Don't make any changes to the linksys just the westell

reply to wayjac
I dont think it has any of that. it seems that this is just a basic modem that they dont want you to chage at all

Can you post a picture of the configuration menu

Ok let's try the single static ip option
That option should allow the westell to share the public ip address with the linksys

reply to nitrosport_5
On the single static page select the linksys name/ip address save/enable the change then go to the linksys configuration pages and renew the wan/internet ip address

reply to wayjac
Done.

Ok.....this setup will yield the same results as bridging the modem
Be sure you delete any port forwarding settings in the westell

so is that all that i need to change in the westell besides clearing my forwarded ports?

I should have asked for a full picture of the westell page yours is the format that I always forget about
