		<description>Yep, that sucks. it&#039;s not the end of the world for me but it would be nice to be able to do that. I was able to forward port 5900 for vnc. 

I have the same setup with a router. I even tried using a switch to make sure the router was not blocking anything but no luck.</description>

		<description>You can&#039;t forward port 80 on XOHM - was told that by 2 extremely nice and knowledgeable tech support guys tonight.

What might be tripping you up is double-NAT if you have the XOHM modem plugged into a router.

I was trying to do very similar things but could not get into my local network, only a single box connected directly to the XOHM modem set up as the DMZ, which quite frankly, I didn&#039;t like.

So the XOHM modem provides NAT/DHCP to your router, then your router is doing the same thing for your LAN - no inbound traffic is going to hit your LAN in this config.  Basically I told the XOHM techs that all I wanted to do was either a) turn off NAT/DHCP on the XOHM modem and pass the external IP to the router, or b) have the XOHM modem provide NAT/DHCP for my entire LAN, not just the router.

Long story short - all I had to do was plug the XOHM modem in the 1st LAN port on my router instead of the internet port.  This basically lets the XOHM modem provide NAT/DHCP for my entire LAN now, as it overrides the NAT/DHCP on my router.I manually set up the router to have an address at the end of the address block that the XOHM modem was providing so I could administer it (even though it says the router isn&#039;t connected to the internet, the clients are fine).

Once you get it set up so that the XOHM modem is providing NAT/DHCP for your LAN, then port forwarding should work as expected.

Hope this helps!</description>
