Not that I take Vendors at face value, but it's a good start. The vendor who sold this to me has assured me that this supports Many:Many Network Address Translation.

The biggest problem he had was it would only route one external IP. Here's hoping you didn't get the same model! As for me, I just got some new qwest DSL run to the house as well as my comcast. Currently waiting on a cisco 1721 with a WIC-1ADSL card for that setup. I'm still wondering why cisco never bothered to make a cable termination WIC. Seemed like a no-brainer to me. Then again, maybe they have and I just don't know about it. I have a buddy with a netscreen. The biggest problem he had was it would only route one external IP.

I've got a Juniper Networks firewall en-route. I didn't want to mess with the WRT54Gv6, and really unfortunately don't have time to play with it. But this is a many:many NAT with a hardware Firewall, so we'll see how it goes. Our security guy at work speaks highly of them, though he says not really for large enterprise applications (management is apparently not easy when you overgrow them) Interesting – I know they have two modems associated, I’ll have to check to make sure the old Linksys has been taken off.

I was down on three different occasions because they had multiple mac addresses in the system for my account. Somehow something they were doing kept magically adding my old modem's mac back into the system. Oh… one thing, *MAKE SURE* they remove the old mac address when you give them the new one.

Just give em the mac address of the modem :) Don’t have to do much of anything for the provisioning. Just give em the mac address of the modem :)
