jackyandjoe 0 Report post · CID: 6460894548 Posted March 2, 2006 :icon_pale:Is there a software that I can use to get into this specific type of cable modem (Motorola Surfboard SB5100). My problem is that my public IP shown here is different than the IP on my pc. My problem is that i recently purchased a Linsys MRT54G and I can not do Port Forward for online games and filesharing etc. and even without the router the ports are blocked. I suspect that my cablemodem is on of those with router built in features and that my ISP (onelinkpr) is using it to block all these ports. thank you all for your help..

Swimmer 3 Report post · CID: 1175751713869 Posted March 2, 2006 if your ISP is blocking the port then you are sol.. There is nothing that the cable modem would do to beable to remove the block.. i am pretty sure that that is done at the node level. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rajmarie 0 Report post · CID: 6349781875 Posted March 3, 2006 turning off the DHCP will not let to set static IP. The SB5100 dont have any port blocking. The DHCP in the modem is to provide IP addresses if you connect your modem to a hub. if your port is blocked....then probably its your ISP who had it blocked.

FallowEarth 3 Report post · CID: 66377273039 Posted March 3, 2006 As rajmarie stated, SB5100 does not block ports and cannot mask the IP. It is not a NAT. If your IP from IPCONFIG does not match what is shown at http://whatismyip.com (when you are connected directly to the modem) then it is likely that there is software changing your IP, or a proxy. As for ports being blocked, what ports specifically are you needing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackyandjoe 0 Report post · CID: 6460894548 Posted March 3, 2006 well, all of them are either blocked or closed when i run the tests from various port sniffer sites like whatismyip.com site... and i am not behind a firewall when i test. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
