Setting modem ZTE ZXDSL 831 as a Router

i) Disable the bridging function of the modem:
- under the Bridging Tab, then click the Enable/Disable link and set Bridging to Disable

ii) You'll need to use the ATM VC, aal5-2, which is there by default. Delete the e0a-0.

iii) Under the WAN tab, select PPP, and then select Add to put in a new PPP configuration. Choose;

PPP Interface = ppp-0
ATM VC = aal5-2 or equivalent (which use VPI=0, VCI=35 setting)
Interface Sec Type = Public
Status = StartonData (for auto dial the moment the modem boots up)
Protocol = PPPoE
Use DHCP/DNS = Disable
Security Protocol = PAP
Login Name and Password = put in yourname@streamyx and password

iv) Under the Services tab, select NAT, and set it to Enable.

v) Under the Services tab, select IP Filter, make sure the Public and Private is set to Accept, and this would allow the modem to access the Net.

Security level can be set to High. ( Note: this is not the most comprehensive secure option though, but it will suffice for now to test that the modem is able to route out to the Net. )

vi) Go to admin page, under commit & reboot, click commit, wait for few seconds and then click reboot.

vi) Set every PCs TCP/IP in ur LAN to point to the modem as the gateway (eg. 192.168.1.x where x ranges from 2-250, subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and default gateway as 192.168.1.1 Set your DNS to point to TMNet's DNS as 202.188.0.133, 202.188.0.132, and 202.188.1.5 as ur choice.

** tu setting untuk jadikan modem ko sebagai router. ko still kena forward port 6881 - 6889 ke PC (ip address) yang guna BitTorrent. forward satu port je dah cukup, tapi digalakkan untuk forward seme port.

** kalau ko tersalah setting dan lepas tu takleh access web configuration dia, reset modem ko.

** lagi satu & yang paling penting, aku tak bertanggungjawap sekiranye modem ko kapush selepas configure modem ko
