I agree. It seems that the non-pro model has a limited memory. The situation is even worse with the cable modems. The solution is to spend ~250$ on multi-function devices which give you NAT, FW, switch and Wi-Fi or half of the price without Wi-Fi. Of course, using a Linux machine to support all of that (except Wi-Fi) is most plausable.

Performing NAT translations require a state table. It appears from your post that Alcatel's state table is 256 entries deep. As I'm guessing that had you bought the real Alcatel Pro modem, you would have contacted Alcatel's tech support, and the fact that you are contacting us means you bought Alcatel Home and reflashed it, all I can suggest is that you switch to a solution that actually gives you security as well as connectivity.
