More info?)
Yes the cable modem is bridged to the WAN side of the
router/AP. I go to whatismyip.com to verify this address
and try to netmeeting to call to that address. Can
netmeeting work without the DMZ activated? I did turn off
all port forwards before trying the DMZ function. Before
I had this router I used to give my internal IP ex:
192.168.0.3 on another router that I had and it worked! I
really don't know how. Thank you again!
