Scott, I would suggest using the bridge mode on the Apple routers. Generally only tunnelling will cause you issues, but any VPN will probably use tunneling. You should still be able to block MAC addresses in one of the manual airport controls even with DHCP turned off. My problem with NAT i

Hey Geoff, Sorry I think there was some confusion in the communication. You are correct that DHCP and static IPs have nothing to do with the local LAN. I think what she was trying to say is that the modem effectively cannot be put into a true bridge mode. I think the problem is she could not ex

Hi. In addition to what Jeff said, you should just be able to set you're airport router to point to the comcast modem as it's default gateway. Sounds like that tek at comcast needs to find a new job. On 2011-07-12, at 6:07 AM, Geoff Shang wrote: > On Mon, 11 Jul 2011, Scott Howell wrote: > >> I

This is for a business-class account and this is the only hardware available. I could not switch out the modem since as a business-class customer I get other benefits those using residential modems are not afforded. On Jul 11, 2011, at 7:21 PM, Mike Arrigo wrote: > how come you need to use this

Hello Scott, AFAIK, you always need public addresses for both ends of an IPv6 tunnel, because they are included in the payload as part of the protocol. This means your IPv6 network would have to be connected to the SMC and this router would have to support IPv6 tunneling. For normal Internet ac
