No bridge option available for sure. BTW my public IP address got changed too. It is now 143.176.113.57 Let?s see what happens when Johnny corrects the address.

So finally, after 15 years ADSL could be upgraded to VDSL. Now we have 100 Mb/s down and 29 Mb/s up, which used to be 10 Mb/s and 0.6 Mb/s respectively. And that for ?6 per month more. Everybody happy. >> > >> > Except my A44RTR simh VAX which feels kind of lonely suddenly. The new vdsl modem has no port forwarding.

If you can make it be just a modem -- pretending to be connected to a single computer without any forwarding needed -- you can hook it to a Linux box configured as NAT gateway, IPtables firewall, etc. I have that setup here (except that it's a cable modem; DSL has never been an option anywhere around here). Works great, and it also lets me throw in additional oddball services like my own Subversion server. >> >> paul >>
