Robert Thanks for your reply > Not sure what you mean by a "default server" so I'm not sure I can help > on that point. That's what it's called in the config... There are options for sending traffic for specific ports to other IPs, so e.g. you can send port 80 traffic to IP1, port 25 traffic to IP2... there's also a default IP (the default server) to send anything for ports not otherwise listed. I guess it's a kind of simplistic routing table.
I found that leaving this out of the modem's config means it doesn't route properly when the internal IP is not that of the gateway. I guess I replace this with a simple routing rule on the gateway and it's not really a shorewall thing? > On the modem - when you bridge it, usually you do lose IP access to it > (I've seen exceptions.)

It seems a strange the manufacturers dont find a better solution...
