Speedstream 4200 port forwarding problem w/ PS2/3, won't allow online hosting

Ok, I have a Linksys WRT54G router as well as a Speedstream 4200. Every time I try forwarding ports to the Static IP of my PS3 I get this error message:

NAPT Server IP address is not a valid LAN host address.

And whenever I try it with the DMZ, I get this error message:

DMZ host IP address is not a valid LAN host address.

Unplugging the one ethernet cord on my Speedstream will kick me offline on here, so I do I fix this where I can be online on my computers, and my game systems at the same time? And allow me to host my own games online. Help would be VERY appreciated.

You have two NAT layers, which makes port forwarding a real issue. Configure the 4200 in bridge mode to bypass it's NAT layer, then just manage the port forwarding on the Linksys.

The 4200 is the modem, does that make a difference, and how do I do the bridge thing without screwing stuff up?

Ok, theres a problem, I have 3 computers, it says to hook the modem to my computer, but if I unplug the one cord plugged into the modem, I lose internet on all 3 computers, so how do I do this?

You plug the cord from your computer DIRECTLY into the modem for the configuration steps, then you can reconnect the router.

So wait, to do this, I need to knock myself offline? Then after done configuring I can rehook everything back up the way it was?

Well, you're turning the modem/router into a standard modem. So, you'll have to reconfigure the router to connect to a PPPoE device, and you may have to enter the account name/password in the WAN configuration of the router as well, depending on your specific DSL account requirements.

Ok, I put the Speedstream in bridge mode, but when I hit enable, I lost internet. So when I went onto the Linksys, I put in the username/password for the PPPoE, I still didn't have internet, so what is the problem?

Did you configure for PPPoE in the WAN section of the router? Are you sure it's not PPPoA?

Do you get a connect light on the modem?
