Hello Geoff,

Thanks for the input.

The modem I have is supplied by the ISP and they are responsible for the
device.

When our DSL circuit was upgraded to a newer technology, I think this was
about 4 years ago, the ISP sent out a new modem.

What do you recomend or do not recomend for modem/router hardware.

Thanks.




.. I guess I have never worried about it because it has worked

Scott,

Why are you putting your SBS server onto such a low quality modem
(really designed for home use)? Not that it can't do its job but
seriously, you should consider a more robust unit. However, all modems
like this have a web log in where you can manage protocols, ports,
forwarding and all router based functions. It will be there - you just
need to locate the info in the manual.

Alternately, go down the street and buy a decent one with at least 4
ports on the back and maybe even a wireless modem.

Hello Steve,

You mentioned in the last reply I already have a router.

Are you considering the SBS the router or the DSL Modem?

I checked with the manufacture of the DSL modem and the documentation on the
model I have mentions nothing about any functions you find in a router.

There is no web log in, or user interface.

It's a plug it in, let it synch with the CO.

Here is a link to the information on the DSL modem.

If you know anything about this working as a router I would appreciate any
insite you may offer.

Thanks again and have a good evening.
