No, you misunderstand what I'm saying. Put modem in bridge mode. Run cat5
from modem to WRT54G (or equivalent). Setup WRT54G for PPPOE/A, or whatever
your ISP requires, including your userid/password. The Zoom modem in bridge
mode for all practical purposes becomes invisible. The WRT54G wan IP is the
ip your ISP assigns you. It becomes your router, it has the dhcp server in
it. All other devices on network work as they always have. It is as if you
were using that as your modem. Use it's built in 4 port switch, or run cat5
to another hub/switch/wap, etc. It also has builtin wirelessb/g.
The above scenario assumes your ISP supports running your modem in gateway
mode, your modem actually does this, and you have a router of some sort that
can handle the pppoe/a/etc from your ISP. Mine does, this is what I do, and
it works very well.
In the above example, bridge mode turns control of the network over to the
WRT54G, which has a router and 4 port switch and dhcp server built in. This
is a good thing.

I can't exactly use bridge mode, even if the modem supported it. Theres
4 computers, a wireless access point, and a printer that all need to be
conencted to the network. Bridge mode would turn control of the
conenction to some other device on the network, which wouldn't be a good
thing. I'm going to try using an old modem and router I have tomorrow,
maybe that will do something

would
do this before selecting bridge. I had the fun experience of trying it
while unsupported. It took some doing to reclaim my modem.

If your modem will go into bridge mode, and most do, and if your ISP
supports it, you can set the Zoom to bridge, and put something like a
WRT54G
behind it. I've done this sucessfully, but it's not for the meek at
heart
:)
Then see if your server appears on the list.
Oh, BTW, please post your IP address and server name so we can look at
your
server.

Could be a problem with the router itself, although I would think that
I
wouldn't be able to have people connect at all if this was the case.
It's not exactly something I can change though, the modem and router
are
combined, a Zoom ADSL X5.. Other then this I haven't had a single
problem with it, and it seems no matter what I set it to, it doesn't
work. I may be able to test this with my old router and modem.. but I
honestly don't expect any different results.

Have you tried it with a different modem/router? A few years ago I had
some
adventures in cheap low-end router hell, and one thing I found was
that
some
routers had some serious issues, such as Belkin for example. Cisco

the best, Linksys was second. Most others had various issues, such as
Netgear has a very small routing table and firmware that tends to
reset
the
router on a regular basis, early Linksys firmware was ...well, shite
for
the
most part but current firmware is pretty good. Dlink and Belkin were
on
the
bottom of the crap router list. Nothing I did made my server appear on
the
list while using a Belkin router. Replaced the Belkin with a Netgear,
poof,
server is on the list! I have to use a Actiontek modem because of my
ISP,
but I put it in gateway mode and use the Linksys to handle the PPPOE
and
that pretty much eliminates the Actiontek (which is a cheap piece of
junk
modem/router) from causing problems. If you happen to have WRT54G
laying
around, and if you can put your modem in gateway mode, you might try
that.
