Getting Eircom Zykel to just be a modem

Hi I need some advice on how I get an Eircom Zykel P660 to just be a modem, and allow my Belkin N1 to be the router. I'm trying to make life easier for myself so I can get my Slingbox and a IP CCTV camera working from the outside world. Port forwarding doesn't seem to want to work with the two routers daisychained.

Hi

I need some advice on how I get an Eircom Zykel P660 to just be a modem, and allow my Belkin N1 to be the router.

I'm trying to make life easier for myself so I can get my Slingbox and a IP CCTV camera working from the outside world.

Port forwarding doesn't seem to want to work with the two routers daisychained.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.....and yes I'm a networking noob, I know...:D

You need to put the Xyzel in "Bridging" mode. It passes the public IP to the Belkin. Incidentally I hate those ****ty belkins with a passion and if anything goes wrong you are on your own

Zykel refuses to enter Bridge mode, tells me that it needs username and password as essential

Mine did that, but I was messing about with other settings at the time I think. Following the advice I got here and it worked fine for me.

I gave up and made the Eircom Zykel the primary router and just turned my Belkin into a wireless access point.

Thanks for the advice
