Hello,

I am not sure if this is the right group for this but I wasn't sure
where else to start. My friend has a modem (Huawei Quidqay Wa1003a)
working in bridge mode. We were playing around with its web
configuration for port forwarding to his linux box (he wants to run a
web server on it) and decided the best way is to operate the modem in
bridge mode (it is a modem and router in one box, one LAN port and WLan
built in).

We wanted to know how is bridge mode related to the built-in firewall
in a modem/router. In bridge mode, can we use the build in NAT and
firewall?

Thanks,
and if this is not the right group, please suggest an alternative.
->HS

Bridge mode disables the modem smarts, you do everything including
the connection negotiation in linux once the modem switched to bridge
mode -- suggest you learn the modem's port forwarding options if you
need the modem's router features.
