the modem blocks ports and i need to use pcanywhere, went into the modems setup bypassing the linksys to open ports for pc anywhere. would like to not have to bypass the linksys to get into modem to configure it...

what method do you use to gain access to the modem?
does it not save your configuration? is this why you have to repeatedly open the port? what model westell is it?

To access the DSL appliance, first go to the router setup and assign the machine you are accessing the DSL appliance from to the DMZ. Then access the DSL bridge from that machine. Be sure to switch the DMZ back off after you're done so the router resumes protecting that machine from Internet predators.
