you're pretty much going to use the 2-wire router to handle your external IP,
throw an unused private subnet in between it and pfsense (something like
192.168.255.1 for the 2-wire and 192.168.255.254 for pfsense WAN) and try and
set pfsense in the DMZ of the 2-wire, or just do a generic filter that forwards
all traffic to it. this is how I had to set up my pfsense router behind a
crappy vonage branded linksys router.
if sucessful. all traffic will come in from internet and get immediately routed
directly to the pfsense box where it handles it like business as usual.

Subject: [pfSense Support] Big Problems with 2wire ADLS modem+Router.
Hi people.
This week my ISP told me that i need to change my old modem: DSL modem
speedstream 5400, just a modem. My LAN was behind pfsense, DHCP, one vpn to my
office, it was very beautiful. Some times i just connect my box and i was at
work, didn't need to get there.
Now, i have this 2wire Modem+Router(Model 2701HG-T), which if came with
built-in Firewall, wireless, and other cool stuff for someone with no
acknowledge of pfsense could say, this is great!!!
Now i don't how to hell i will have my old settings, i cannot disable the
firewall from that device, i cannot access my office from my LAN clients, the
only one who could access my office is the pfsense box, because i enable some
rule to the 2wire firewall, but any of my clients can.
I'm lost, i don't know how is the gateway now or which one i chose? What
about my WAN interface? I try to connect my wan interface but i don't get any
answer from my ISP.
I disable the DHCP server from the device, but right now my Gateway is
2wire, what can i do to bring everything to normal? do i need tot add each rule
to my LAN and NAT or forward to my 2wire gateway?
Someone could point me, what i need to do, or help me understand my case
and help me find some path to this?
Thanks all for your time.
P.S. Running pfsense 1.0.1 Release.
