<div style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif">I have a linksys router and had to use the dsl modem as a bridge so that I could network all my systems. This has to be done becuase the nat for the dsl modem shares the same network as the linksys router. I can't seem to find the link I used to set this up but I had to change the router to PPOE and set the dsl modem to be used as a bridge. I will try to dig the link up for the destructions and post it when I do.

On the Verizon router, I have port forwarding setup for 80 and 443 to a server in the DMZ, while other traffic (Vonage, etc) get's forwarded to my Linux firewall and handled by IPTABLES.

I will second the dns notion! Verizon's dsl dns servers are really bad.<br>One other thing I can't stand about dsl, actually adsl, is there dhcp!<br>It is ridiculous, I've seen the IP's change by the hour! Actually been
<br>bumped offline while ssh'd into some boxes because the freakin IP<br>changed. I never looked into it too much but they must have their dhcp<br>servers set to expire on the hour. If it wasnt for the bad dns servers
<br>and the hyper dhcp settings, dsl is great, the service itself is<br>extremely reliable and fast.<br>_______________________________________________<br>nflug mailing list<br><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:nflug@nflug.org" target="_blank">
