Mikkel, My ISP is Verizon Online. I will have to check to see if they are blocking, but I don't think so as you will see below. The Westell modem is also a router with one port. I tried having the modem handling the PPoE and the router set to a static IP in the range of the subnet specified by the modem.The router modem was set with port forwarding to the router and the router was set with port forwarding to the linux box (also a static ip on the subnet). At this point I could ping the assigned dynamic IP (I use http://www.dnsstuff.com). The Linksys router showed nothing in its incoming logs. The Windows boxes could access internet sites by IP only. The name lookup was no longer working. The linux box was fine. This was when the Linksys rep said that the modem had to be in bridge mode. Once put into bridge mode, I could no longer ping the assigned IP, but the Windows boxes could access the named sites. The router is now handling the PPoE and DHCP. My goal is to have the linux box control the other boxes. I think that you are right in that I need to set up DNS. There is a setup for that in drakwizard, but I do not know what to do with it. I believe that it asked me to change the hostname. I explore more when I get home.
