We had our internet upgraded today and they replaced our old modem with a ComTrend 5072T to support the faster speeds.
Well the internet works, but no matter of playing around with it has gotten one port open.
The old setup was Speedstream 5100 (PPPoE on modem) to the WAN port of our Dell True Mobile 2300 running Tomato. DHCP & port forwarding were handled by Tomato. The modem's ip was 192.168.1.1 and Tomato had 192.168.2.2 assigning devices IPs in that range (192.168.2.xxx).
The router was untouched during the upgrade, only the modems were switched out. But I was not present during the installation so had no chance to watch how they had set it up.
One thing I notice is different is the modem is assigning Tomato an address, and Tomato is displaying this address (192.168.10.2) instead of the external IP address as it did previously. This also temporarily broke the DDNS.
I've tried disabling DHCP, NAT & firewall on the modem but it seems to have no effect other than breaking my connectivity to the Web UI, forcing me to hard reset the bugger to regain access.
Playing with the modem's IP Filtering (I assume this is the same as Forwarding) has proven fruitless, using a port checking website confirms they are still closed (not to mention I can't connect using the protocols I'm opening these ports for).
Its doing my head in not having external connectivity and would greatly appreciate any input on the matter
