Jessica, if the problem with your 2210 was that it’s using PPPoE but shouldn’t, you wouldn’t be getting online through it at all. I wouldn’t expect this to do anything but break your connection if you’re on sbcglobal.net

I want to change my NAT type from type 3 to type 2 in order to help with my PlayStation 3 online. I can get to the modem settings page but I am unsure how to change the NAT type. I have tried to call my internet provider but they are no help. AT&T wants me to pay them $150 for them to send a technician out to my house to change my NAT type. They won’t even walk me through any steps. Any suggestions?

After my D-Link ADSL modem died over the weekend, I picked up a Motorola 2210-02-1006 (a re-badged Netopia modem) and set it up to work with my D-Link DIR-655 router.

After that, I couldn’t get any access to my internal network from the net. Even when I disabled the modem’s own NAT – which just totally blocked everything from working.

Then I remember the “double NAT” problem (since my router also has a NAT) after reading this post just now.

So I accessed the modem using 192.168.1.254, changed it to bridge* mode and saved the settings.

I then went to the router and changed it to PPPoE, entered the login info my ISP gave me, added the ISP’s DNS addresses, saved it. And it works fine now.

*Note that when I changed the modem to bridge mode, I could no longer access the modem from that 192.168.1.254 page due to the fact that my internal network uses the IP range of 192.168.0.x instead of 192.168.1.x. That wasn’t a problem because I can still access the modem by connecting my computer directly to it temporarily if I needed to change anything there in the future.

Hope this helps someone else.
