I like the last 2 suggestions and will try them when I get back in
town. Bellsouth is sending a tech out to check my line for a problem
on Monday too. Unfortunately I am the only moron in my small hood
that has DSL...the others have cable. I actually do not think any of
my friends have DSL. The funny thing is,Netgeartook my config,
loaded it into a router at their lab, and it worked just fine with DSL
(so they say). The reason I am set on this router is 2 fold. 1, I
upgraded my whole network to gigabit hardware, and my old Linksys is
not real good at not freezing up after a few days. 2, I cannot return
it to where I bought it, as they only had a 14 day return policy. I
blew through that time period trying to fix it and waiting onNetgear
to ship me a replacement, as they said it was a bad unit. The
replacement didnt work either :) so, I am stuck with this and need to
get it working. I will let you know if I get any further on this.

You got two shots here to make it work.

I) Get a modem that works with the router.
2) Get a router that works with the modem.

I have an Update. The bellsouth guy came out, and the line is just
fine, no surprise there.

What I managed to do though, was take my DSL modem out of bridged
mode. I let the DSL modem handle the PPPOE negotiation, and set the
Netgear to just use the IP address its assigned from the modem. I
then set up NAT on the modem for FTP. I used the pre-canned FTP
definition in its pre-loaded NAT services. I then ran my FTP test,
and it worked.

So the problem seems to be around the fact that when I put the modem
in bridged mode, I then start seeing ports blocked. The question is
what is causing the issue. The modem going to bridged mode, or the
Netgear handling the connection. Any ideas?
