The NETGEAR on WAN 1 is connected to BT, the THOMSON to sky.
The internet works fine but any port forwarding for incoming is blocked. I was going to dial in to the NETGEAR on WAN 1 and change the operating mode to modem only but can't get into it. The internal address for the PROSAFE is 192.168.0.2, the address for the DGN2200 192.168.6.1 and the address for the THOMSON is 192.168.5.1.
The external addresses for the PROSAFE are 192.168.5.3 on WAN 2 from the THOMSON and 192.168.6.3 from the DGN2200.
I can get into the THOMSON using the address 192.168.5.1 from any machine on the internal network but when i try 192.168.6.1 to get into the DGN2200 i only get page cannot be displayed.
Any ideas?

You can use various tools to obtain the credentials necessary for connecting to Sky's network, such as this one:

The site uses a self-signed certificate so the browser will complain about it, but I've used it before and no Bad Things happened...
This will winkle out the details you need to enter into the SRX5308, but you will still need an ADSL modem in bridge mode to connect to your router. You can find a Netgear DG834Gv3 or above on eBay for next to nothing - I've several of them because I'm just too mean to throw away working equipment. These routers can be configured to function just as bridge modems, and are probably cheaper to buy second-hand than the Netgear DM111p or the Draytek Vigor 110 or 120 ADSL modems

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
