so today i was looking in my att router modem thing and saw that it was based on freebsd the same thing pfsense is based on and the configuration on the thin is terrible it ole has wireless g and i got a new one in december and win i tried to get a new router access point there is on bridge mode the thing so i am stuck with the thing. and att also does not have fiber to the Neighbourhood and i remember a ad campaign where they were saying advanced fiber network and i am on the old school dsl or aDSL form the year 2000.
that is my rant and my question is this bridged mode and if to is how do i set it up
ie tern on dmz + and set up my router as if the att box was a modem an done
Allow all applications (DMZplus mode) - Set the selected computer in DMZplus mode. All inbound traffic, except traffic which has been specifically assigned to another computer using the "Allow individual applications" feature, will automatically be directed to this computer. The DMZplus-enabled computer is less secure because all unassigned firewall ports are opened for that computer.
Note: On LAN devices which have a Private IP address, once DMZplus mode is selected and you click save, the system will issue a new IP address to the selected computer. The computer must be set to DHCP mode to receive the new IP address from the system, and you must reboot the computer. If you are changing DMZplus mode from one computer to another computer, you must reboot both computers.
A demilitarized zone (DMZ), also known as a secure subnet, is used as a secure form of port forwarding, where you split the network into three zones: trusted (green), semi-trused (yellow), and untrusted (red) using firewalls. In a corporate environment where you have public facing services, the services would go in the yellow zone, your internal network would go in green zone, and the public facing INET link goes in the red link. The reason behind this is to prevent any intruders getting inside your network, should they manage to compromise the public facing server. If you want to have a router separate from your modem, this isn't the way to go.
Ideally, you should be able to place the hardware AT&T gave you into modem mode, so it acts as a layer 2 bridge, then have an Ethernet link between the modem and the router; if it's a consumer grade router, it should have a dedicated WAN interface. You shouldn't need to do any configuration as a default route with the WAN interface as the exit should already be set up.
is this the bridge mode there is NOTHING that sese bridge or modem mode
ps i have not worded with subnets
Odd. Who's the manufacturer of the mode/router?
If it's not possible, you have a few options:
- Set a static IP on the WAN interface of your router and put in a static route on the modem/router accordingly
- On consumer networking devices, the ethernet ports are essentially switchports (you don't assign a subnet to each one), so you can plug the Ethernet cable into one of these instead of the WAN interface and disable the DHCP server on your new router. Doing this will keep all hosts on the same subnet, so will avoid any need for routing
For the above options, it would be wise to disable the WLAN interfaces on the modem/router to prevent interference.
the motome is a Pace Plc Model 3801HGV or 2wire
i think it is the hpna for the tvs
and i am doing the optive above
ok apparently i already had i configured like that for a lan party so im done it works
thanks
Sweet! Glad to hear you got it sorted!
