New DSL Service

[Steve Jardine]

All,

    I just changed over my service to QWest DSL. I kinda had to - they killed off my old service. 

    I have a new Actiontec Q1000 modem that is based on the Busybox distro. It is, well interesting. I have been trying to have the box make available a single port to the outside world. Port 84. Well, that has been more trouble than it would appear. 

    First off, the LAN side of the modem defaults to 192.168.0.x. I have my internel net set to something different  - still a non-routable address space mind you. Setting up a "rule" on the modem I set a "port forward" to my internal ip number (X.X.1.2 255.255.255.0) and port 84 internal and external. It make these rules:

# iptables -t nat -L -v -n --line-numbers
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT 5876 packets, 378K bytes)
num   pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination
1       43  5422 ACCEPT     all  --  *      *       0.0.0.0/0            224.0.0.0/3
2        0     0 DNAT       tcp  --  ppp0.201 *       0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           tcp dpt:84 to:X.X.1.2

Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT 27 packets, 2616 bytes)
num   pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination
1     1804  120K MASQUERADE  all  --  *      ppp0.201  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 66 packets, 7078 bytes)
num   pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination

   Of course, then this system has a screwy P-T-P route??

ppp0.201        Link encap:Point-Point Protocol
                inet addr:174.17.Y.Y  P-t-P:67.40.Z.Z  Mask:255.255.255.255
                UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP ALLMULTI MULTICAST  MTU:1492  Metric:1

  Summary: External "Internet visible IP" 174.17.Y.Y, internal visible IP #X.X.1.1.

  Anyone have experience with this kind of ADSL setup??
