[SOLVED] DSL Westell 6100 with Linksys Router Port Forward Problem

[johnwill]

So, the question is, why can't he get bridge mode working with ZoomTown? Why does it "break" the back-end of your network? What exactly does it "break"? That's the statement here that makes no sense, and is certainly unique to your network!

The Westell 6100 has internal routing capabilities so that you can do port forwarding, and other networking/routing features as well. The Westell 6110 does not. It basically just passes the network right on through the modem and nothing else.

Hope this clears up any confusion.

Success! The 6110 I found off Craigslist is working. I just plugged it in and it worked exactly like you said. Aside from the $20 I spent to buy it and some frustration getting to this point, I am happy!

Thanks again for some guidance working through this. I believe that there has to be some way to get the 6100 to work functionally the same as the 6110 but I couldn't figure it out.
