Generally, the modem handles all the potentially difficult nasties of
gettting the PPP stuff underway, and you cant even tell what your
external IP is unless you query the modems web interface. To the user,
you can just be 192.168.1.50, and the modem can be 192.168.1.1, and
the modem being the default gateway, and all the rest is handled by
NAT magic.
So this means that all firewalling is made by the router, who knows with
what software...
Well, you can disable router firewalling and firewalling your box, why
not? Actually, that's the most sensible thing to do.
