Actiontec in bridge mode?

dbldare · 04-06-2006, 02:07 PM

Hey all. I've done a few searches for this but I can't find the answer to this issue. I have a couple Actiontec modems (model GT701 and model GT701-WG) that I need to run in bridge mode. I think. Here's the deal. I am trying to run a ZyWall 2 Content Filter at a few of our small campuses (middle and high school). The problem is is that the ZyWall doesn't allow me to turn off DHCP so I need to turn it off on the DSL modems, but I'm not sure how to go about this. I know the option is in the "Advanced Settings" area, but I'm not sure what to do in there. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that I have to set the external IP address, Gateway and DNS information on the ZyWall then just shut off DHCP on the DSL modem????

We already run a ZyWall 5 in another (larger) campus, which allows me to shut off DHCP so things work perfectly in that environment. But the ZyWall 2 doesn't seem to allow me to disable DHCP.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

just reset the modem with the little reset button on the back press and hold for 30 sec. and the modem will go back to it´s factory settings, which in this case is bridge mode.
