How to port forward with SBC and DSL modem (Motorola 2210-02
Posted: Mon Sep 07, 2009 11:21 pm
I had a lot of trouble to get this working so I am sharing how I finally got it to work. This assumes your internet service provider is SBC (also called AT&T, or SBCglobal.net, or SBC Yahoo). They provided me with the DSL modem (Motorola model 2210-02).
I use port forwarding due to bittorrent. Vuze has a feature to test if you port forwarding works.
Prior to ooma, my modem was set to "Bridged Mode", my router was set as "PPPoE". This worked before ooma, but not after ooma.
After ooma,
I had to change it so the modem is set to "PPP is on the modem" Mode. To do this you need to get into the modem setup screen so you may need to connect a computer directly to the modem, and using your internet browser go to http://192.168.1.254.
My router is set to have its WAN Type as "Dynamic IP Address".
My computers were set up as described at portforward.com and I did not need to change them after going with ooma.

My ooma settings are:
Network Settings: Network conneciton: Automatic
Advanced Settings Home Port:
IP Address: 172.27.35.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP Configuration
Start Address: 172.27.35.2
End Address: 172.27.35.2
DMZ Address: 172.27.35.2
