Hi All

I was wondering if anyhow knew how to or had success in accessing their Paradyne Modem/Router via the WAN/Internet. (with password security of course).

I have the TSTT account firewall deactivated and can access services within my LAN via the Internet, but I can't seem to access the Paradyne 6211's setup page from the Internet.

I go to http://myipdaddress.com and I can't get to the Modem's admintration. I am going in via the default port 80 because I cannot see anywhere on the Paradyne setup to specify an administration port (ie: 8080) or to specifically enabled remote access.

Anyhow knows how I can go about to enable remote (via Internet) access to the Paradyne admin pages?

Thanks in advance

Hello

I was wondering if anyone had experience with this type of setup. I searched the forum, but couldn't quite find the answer I was looking for.

My sister has a Paradyne 6211-I3 provided by TSTT. She also has a Linksys WRT54G router which we will like to use to handle all NAT and Firewall functionality (Not the Paradyne).

We would like Paradyne to act like a dumb bridge and I am thinking at minimum I need to make the following changes to the Paradyne modem settings, especially changing the connection type as shown below.

VCL = "35"
Service Category = "UBR without PCR"
Connection Type = "Bridging"
Encapsulation Mode = "LC/Snap Bridging"

Does anyone have experience with this? Will changing the connection type to "Bridging" work so that the PPP username & password can be managed and sent to BLINK via the Router? We will setup username and password in the router.

Are there any other settings I must change or alter to get the modem to act as a dumb bridge and allow NAT/Firewall features to be managed by the Linksys WRT54G router?

Do I have to do anything to disable NAT functionality in the Paradyne router?

I am helping my sister from a remote location, so I'm not in front of the computer to play with the setting first hand.

Thanks in advance for any help
