Ultima Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 The "Embarq" is in fact a ZyXEL router, which means that you're behind a double-NAT. Check the user manual's advanced port forwarding guide to get a better idea of what that means for you, and what you can possibly do about it. If you're still confused after reading the guide, feel free to ask for further explanation (you should try to be specific about where you got lost, though).

GTHK Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 ISP's normally don't provide support setting up NAT enabled routers, or at least mine doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Indeed, support and allow/possible mean different things -- your ISP and Embarq are different as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
