Ok, Thanks JC

Peace
 
Ah, I see that's what I want to know.

Thanks JC. I appreciate it.
 
The 10 digit number is a mask over the actual IP number...

I am sure once you get the VP installed, a 10 digit number will be provided...

Just make sure your router is set up and running BEFORE the installer comes...
 
I called sorenson earlier today, the installer will be contact me by email for schedule.
Yes, they will provide me with a router because I told them that standard modem doesn't have built in router which I didn't know. Standard modem (from AT&T) is on the way to my home next week. I learned something new about router and VP too. This will be my first time with sorenson VP, I'm kinda excited :)

Well, I dump my OJO for SEXY sorenson VP ;) (Well, I will keep OJO just in case)
 
Yes, this is fact, since VP is Internet based system, meaning they are required to use TCP/IP in order to function, the IP address you see is actually TCP/IP. Without this, even with 10 digit number it won't work!.

I knew about this and it is correct! The mask over IP addresses but what I have discovered which was interesting. the phone numbers are actually carried with SIP to the company's server's no matter what IP address you have, they will find you regardless.
 
does not matter which one, still 99% of DSL modem has built in router while about 80% of cable modem does not have router built in.

That is very rare, I havent seen one without firewall buillt in so far,
some of them the firewall actually buried deep, you have to look harder, this includes Motorola DSL modem, and embarq 660 series.

Westell all models have firewall/router Even with FiOS (New Westell modem support FiOS, and I think it is 9100 series)
2wire all models have firewall/router
Motorola 2210 and 3327 has built in firewwall
Actiontec modem all models have firewall/router Even with FiOS (Mi424)

AT&T offers either 2wire or Motorola modems

Then it rare for you. It's all depend on ISP and area. I see there are plenty of SBC DSL modem without firewall setting.

Here a picture exactly like that. Good luck with this and let me know when you find the firewall setting.

Ouch you forget to black out the MAC Address....not to mention IP address and serial number.
 
I have seen that before and yes, its under Advanced. Your modem DOES have firewall.

BTW, I do these stuff for living and know by my heart. :)

check this website, it outlines specifications for speedstream 5100, look under firewall, there is information there. http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/bc/hardware/?action=h_view&model_id=394
