i just bought a Linksys Wireless WRT54G Router, i've never used a router before so i have no idea whats going on, but i bought it so that i could put my Motorola ATA BEHIND it, and i've been messing around with it for 2 hours and searched this forum for an answer, this questions probly been answered a million times but ive had no luck finding a simple answer, this is my desired configuration if someone could give me a step by step way to set it up: CABLE MODEM> LINKSYS ROUTER> PC AND ATA BOTH CONNECTED TO THE ROUTER WITH 2 DIFFERENT ETHERNET CABLES

1) Temporarily connect your computer to the PC port of the VPC. Open your browser and go to address: http://192.168.102.1

2) Go to Basic Configuration, select Specify Static IP Address and enter the following:

IP Address: 192.168.1.50
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1

3) Click Save Changes

4) Shutdown and reconnect the computer to the Linksys and reboot

5) Open your browser again and enter address: http://192.168.1.1

6) Enter the password (default is admin)

7) Locate the Port Forwarding settings and enter:

53 to 53 UPP Only 192.168.1. 50
69 to 69 UPP Only 192.168.1. 50
5060 to 5061 UPP Only 192.168.1. 50
10000 to 20000 UPP Only 192.168.1. 50

Cool

Click Apply

9) Your setup now for normal operation.

Good luck!

Sorry about the typo... The above should be UDP Only rather than UPP.
