The modem should be provided by the ISP and shouldn't require any config minus occasionally needing to disable the built in firewall. The Pix Device is the Firewall and Router. You only need to mess with firewall settings with mucking about with the port forwards. The rules in the firewall reference the "Outward facing Interface" so their IP information should adjust once the IP settings are changed. -Wolfy On Sun, May 26, 2013 at 3:11 PM, Romy Ilano <romy(a)snowyla.com> wrote:

FWIW i have more modems routers cables adapters networking peripherals and other suchlike than i can comfortably remember easily. most are how-you-say 'legacy' but not all. in other words, *if my newfound favorite local home away from home finds itself in need of something, upon re-investigation, this assessment may happily prove erroneous.* ff ps AFAIK i do *not* have spools of cat 5, though i know someone who used to have at least one (we didn't take it because space becomes an issue in a small apartment, especially, as i have come to understand, if one of the people living there is ...me)(i used to half believe the desktops seized every unobserved opportunity to get it on, leaving their offspring, discoverable, somewhere i was bound to find them ) pps i could make similar statements about computer related soft- and hard- ware not specifically enumerated above, by which i mean to say, the same offer holds true as does above....
