Disabling Nat on a thomson TG585v7

stonneway · 07-08-2009, 01:00 PM

Hi chaps,

Does anyone know how I can disable NAT and firewalling completely on a Thomson TG585v7 ? I want to use them only as ADSL modems to connect to the adsl line. The thomsons (we have several) will in turn be plugged in to a load balancing VPN router which will do the complex stuff, but for this to work easily we will need to disable all NAT and firewalling on the thomsons.

I can't find specific instructions anywhere, so I'm resigned almost to replace them, but ideally I'd prefer not to.

Thanks

Olly

Can you access the configuration screens of the Thompson at all?

You could configure the DMZ on the Thompson and configure the secondary router/gateway's WAN settings to use that address. This will work similar to bridge mode for all practical purposes.

I can't find any information on that router either.

Do you know if the DMG can be set to forward all externals IPs to the DMG port or whether it only handles one nominated IP ?
