 !Getting Billion 7100 into 1:1 NAT+DMZ 
  
 This is an alternative method if half bridge doesnt work well. The modem just maps all incoming traffic to the static ip address of your linux router. 
  
-a. Configuration | LAN | DHCP server | off  
+a. Hard reset the modem  
  
-b. Configuration | Advanced | NAT | Enabled  
+b. Quick start | username and password, PPPoA VCMUX, VPI=, VCI=100, tick automatically reconnect, save config and restart, confirm connects under NAT.  
  
-c. Configuration | Advanced | NAT | mode | NAT (sometimes static NAT)

-Set your linux router to have a stsic WAN address 192.168.1.1. The will forward all incoming ports to the linux router, and basically map the dynamic WAN ISP to your linux routers static IP, directly and exclusively. The advantage of this is if your firewall ruleset needs to know its WAN IP then its easier with a static IP on the routers WAN.

+!Firmware  
+  
+These modems usually came out of the box with firmware versions:  
+  
+CX82xxx_4.1.0.Na_IB300c (where N is 9,10,14 etc)  
+  
+I have upgraded a few of these to CX82xxx_4.1.0.38_IB650c which is available here:  
+[http://www.billion.com/support/download/fd/fd1-ADSL2-firewall-router.html#fd1011] (Annex A is POTS, Annex B is ISDN)  
+  
+with not altogether satisfactory results  
+- web gui bug onquick start page  
+- network timeouts when P2P present  
+- half bridge implementation is no superior that OOB firmware.  
+  
+These have been great modems in their day but i guess its nearly time to move on.
