I was thinking I could set a DMZ to point at my sonicwall. &nbsp;DDNS is picking up the IP of my router WAN port instead of the public ip of &nbsp;the Modem. &nbsp;But DDNS on the sonicwall doesn't know the WAN port on the modem?<br />

i'm guessing this is bridge mode. &nbsp; But thinking I could trick it somehow.

I was off track a bit. &nbsp;I DMZ'd the cable modem to my sonicwall. &nbsp;Set the DDNS agent to pull the address from the DNS service instead of polling the WAN port. &nbsp;problem solved.<br />

Thanks for your input.

I have an older SMC cable modem with comcast. &nbsp;Trying to configure it so that my sonicwall configured with DDNS can identify my public IP.<br />
Anyone know any tricks to accomplish this?<br />
<br />
Comcast insists that I have to purchase a static IP. &nbsp;I don't agree.<br />
<br />
Best regards,<br />

Comcast Cable Modem Mimick Bridge Mode

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.

Routers

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Network Operations includes asset management, help-desk supervision, security and user policies, infrastructure administration and anything else that affects the operation of your network. Discussions will include those of best practices in platforms, configurations, performance, security and accounting.
