Don't forget to get UPnP working right you will have to call TSTT to turn off the firewall on their end.

Edited to add, of course, you also have to enable UPnP in the modem setup (Advanced Setup > LAN).

When you have UPnP up, your port forwarding issues should disappear as long as the applications you are using support UPnP. From what I understand, in practice, UPnP is basically automatic port forwarding.

Balthazor,

I am using PPP IP extension (Advanced Setup > WAN)

You are right about what you said about the option. Here is something I found on the web about it (maybe you read the same thing?)

From http://www.usr.com/s... ui_internet.htm:

PPP IP Extension supports the following conditions:

* It allows only one computer on the LAN.
* The public IP address assigned by the remote using the PPP/IPCP protocol is actually not used on the WAN PPP interface. Instead, it is forwarded to the computer's LAN interface through DHCP. Only one system on the LAN can be connected to the remote, since the DHCP server within the ADSL gateway has only a single IP address to assign to a LAN device.
* NAT and firewall are disabled when this option is selected.
* The gateway becomes the default gateway and DNS server to the computer through DHCP using the LAN interface IP address.
* The gateway extends the IP subnet at the remote service provider to the LAN computer. That is, the PC becomes a host belonging to the same IP subnet.
* The ADSL gateway bridges the IP packets between WAN and LAN ports, unless the packet is addressed to the gateway's LAN IP address.

I successfully used this option to connect a Linksys WRT54GL wireless router to the DSL modem. The Linksys now performs all NAT, DHCP, Firewall, and Quality of Service (QoS) duties. The Linksys is set to 192.168.1.1 and the Paradyne is set to 192.168.0.1, so that I can access both of their configuration pages at their respective URLs.

Let me know if you have any questions about getting this to work!

I have some information to share about PPP IP extension. As another poster mentioned on Using a 2nd router / wireless access point, With a Paradyne modem, there is an option for "PPP IP Extension" in Advanced Setup > WAN.

Note that if using this option you should set whatever device you connect to your DSL modem to "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically".

What is the login and password that should be used to access the settings page?

When I try to go to http://192.168.1.1, I am asked for a login and password. In the manual for the Paradyne 6211, it says the login and password should both be "Admin" (without the quotes), but that does not work for me.

Edited to add: "admin" (lowercase A) worked as the login and password. Duh!
