I suggest getting a different modem w/rj-45 or setting up
some semi-old/small/quiet box running Linux to be a
dedicated router with USB support.

If you get an ADSL router, you dont need to use your old USB modem. Thep
hone line pugs directly into the baack.
Also, dont spend a fortune. I'm webhosting off a £35 port generic device,
and it has all the features, if not more than the branded
devices.(Specificial non-NAT RIPE IP blocks)

Boy do I wish I could use a standard router with rj-45.
Just signed up for high speed internet access in Thailand
and they only mac enable THEIR usb modems to insure only one
computer per account. May have to rig a 2nd hand computer
to be a setable firewall.
Thanks for any suggestions.

How would that ensure only one computer per account though
with Windows having ICS built-in? It's mainly for security
reasons that the hardware router is desirable, as well as
size, power, need to leave ICS PC "on", issues. Well
there's expense and time too, to put together the "PC" as a
router.

They can't tell the difference between a router MAC address and a PC MAC
address. Most routers also let you clone the PC's MAC address, so they
wouldn't have a clue that the router was there.
Personally, if networking is involved I'd avoid any USB links in the chain
all together.

It's not the router MAC mentioned though, it was the modem

All connexant based ADSL routers allow you to input a MAC address, which can
be entered as the on the USB modem.
The the ISP, it would look as if the USB modem was connected

So it allows configuration of BOTH the modem AND the router

The isp "SAYS" they only allow their own equipment (which I had to
purchase from them), adsl modem with usb output OR:
Wireless ADSL Router Wireless 802.11b, with 4-port Switch
http://www.billion.com/product/wireless/bipac5100w.htm
However I am used to configuring Linksys, NETGEAR, D-Link routers.
The setup for Billion is very different to me so far.
No DMZ or port passing and upnp does not seem to work.
That is why I was looking another solution using their supplied
adsl modem with usb output.
Hopefully easier to configure than their router.
Anyone know how to setup billion's router?
Thanks,
Ray
