What Brand of Router/Modem are You Running Your Neptune Apex Through?

[viperfish]

Everything Snaz suggested works great. I ping'd the Apex and the Modem and they are all communicating. That's all good because it's on my home network, the problem comes up when I try to access the router from a remote location via the internet. When I do that I'm dead in the water. The router does port forwarding when you enable remote access by applying a domain name which automatically tracks the DCHP mode of the modem much the same way as DynDNS does. In theory once this is all done the 2Wire internet gateway should be accessable from any computer but it appears to me that the built in firewall blocks every attempt to access the Apex. I tried opening pinholes by allowing programs but to no avail. This is definitely not a user friendly modem. There are so many different configurations that it is almost like trying to pick a combination lock by guess.
