UT300r2u related questions

[heavenhated]

Hi GuysI have been using UT-300R2U for a while. I have never tried port forwarding etc. But now i am moving to the 500 C plan and would like to make use of the nightly downloads. I cant port forward since i have a firm ware that ddoenst show up the VS options.I even tried uploading new firmware and basically bricked the modem.Luckily the local JTO is a good friend of mine and he replaced it again with the same modem. Now i wanted to know a couple of questions1) Is there a specific model that i can request from BSNL that will definitely come with Virtual server option2) I dont want to do bridge coz my dad , bro and my family uses a couple of laptops in mac and bridge will just be a problem for them.3) I dont want to do DMZ.I have searched a lot and couldnt find answer for question 1.Please suggest me a modem so i can get the VS set upVj

May i ask you something? Why are you not comfortable with the DMZ option?

I really dont want to try the DMZ option for the risks that comes with it. I do not want to expose my system as my whole family uses the same. Instead if i can set up Virutual servers atleast i can just open a specific port and monitor. Please someone suggest me a modem form BSNL which i can get it from my JTO here. I just need the modem model/type which has the VS option. my current modem does not have the VS opption and i have already bricked once trying to achieve the same Hoping to hear from someone here. Please Vj

@heavenhated:replied to your PM in detail.

By enabling DMZ on your IP, only your PC is exposed fully to the internet. Using a software firewall will reduce the threats to your PC.Anyways, have you tried upgrading your router with routertech firmware? It is a generic firmware that is released with additional functionality. You have to find out whether your modem can be upgraded with routertech firmware. Again, i warn you, flashing your modem with incorrect firmware will convert it into an expensive piece of brick. And i am unaware about the present generation modems given away by BSNL. Hence, i cannot assist you with that peculiar niche.

DMZ with a really good firewall like zonealarm is a good option as mentioned above , you need not worry if you use a good firewall , windows firewall is not enough though

Thanks guys. @essbebe Thanks for that detailed message. My JTO is on leave but he already said he will search for any of the mentioned modem and give me the same. So i hope on of the modem has that virtual server option. also he said he will check it in exchange itself as i gave him a print out of what i was looking. So i hope i get one which i can use to Port forward through virtual server as i move from 750 to home 500 plan. I wanna smell more HD movies as i change my plan :_)
