Sure enough it has the ATT software just like my 5100s I have. I will go ahead and drop a router in there. Thanks again.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17292941 Fri, 17 Nov 2006 11:50:35 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17290466 nwrickert : Get a cheap router. The 4100 will not provide any protection.

If you have it configured to provide a private IP to the computer, then the computer will, in effect, be placed on the DMZ. That is, there is no protection.

So use that router to provide the protection you want.

(note - comments are for the SBC/ATT version of the 4100)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17290466 Thu, 16 Nov 2006 22:35:41 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17287864 Doctor Olds : There is not a Manual or User Guide on the AT&T/SBC 4100 as it has a crippled/customized Firmware and Interface. The AT&T/SBC 4100 is not a Full Router and it does not have a Firewall.

»Efficient Networks Forum FAQ »I have a 4100 from AT&T (Formerly SBC) where is setup info, tips, & help

If you are reading any User Guides listed here then those are not for the AT&T/SBC 4100 and the published User Guides only cover the Retail Firmware units. The AT&T/SBC 4100 units do not have the same Features, Firmware or Web Interface.

What’s the point of owning a supercar if you can’t scare yourself stupid from time to time?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17287864 Thu, 16 Nov 2006 15:36:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17287015 x_789 : SBC/ATT. Actually I found another post that had a link to the manual for that modem. I think I will be ok with just using the modem features. I have a spare netgear wireless router I will take along just incase.

Thanks Dr. Olds]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17287015 Thu, 16 Nov 2006 13:08:57 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17285976 Doctor Olds : Who is the ISP that supplied the 4100?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17285976 Thu, 16 Nov 2006 09:53:25 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17285742 x_789 : Hello all,
My parents just got DSL in their Neighborhood. Man am I jealous anyway. I am going to run by and install it for them this evening. Dad said it came with a Speedstream 4100 modem. I couldn't find any manuals on it on Siemens sight. I was wanting to know does anyone know if this can do dhcp or if it has a nat firewall? I don't want their box using their public IP for security reasons. Or do I need to bring along a cheap router and toss in between the modem and box.

Thanks,
Blake ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17285742 Thu, 16 Nov 2006 08:56:25 EDT
