Can you set the modem up with a "DMZ" whereby all the incoming traffic gets passed through to one IP -- your PC? One of my clients had to do something like this when their in-house IT guy replaced the modem and didn't know how to set it into bridged mode. He was able to set the modem to pass all the traffic to the internal firewall, which effectively works the same. The new double-NAT setup (Internet <-> aa.bb.cc.dd modem 192.168.1.1 <-> 192.168.1.2 firewall 10.55.0.x <-> LAN) hasn't bitten them yet. -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-290-5038 Security Blog: http://geoapps.com/ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
