TA obliterates Firewall Log

Oct 06, 2004 8 Replies

Have you tried putting the TA behind the LinkSys in a DMZ?

Because I have a TA infront of a LinkSys router, the LinkSys no longer sees the external "attacks" against my IP address and so WallWatcher is useless.



Do any Telephone Adapters (TA) have log capabilities? - RM



No. While I'm sure that would work, I do not want to bypass the TA use of QoS (which throttles WAN bandwidth to maintain phone quality).

quality).

I agree, however in my case the TA (Dlink 1120) has firmware issues that will not allow me to forward ports internally and therefore makes my servers inaccessible and it doesn't have any access logs in the webmin either. I wonder if there is a way to make a port on the router give priority to the TA as sort of a make shift QOS?

My TA is the DVG1120M and by going to 192.168.15.1 it allows me to setup IP forwarding and more, maybe even by port. - RM

It won't work though. Trust me. The features and webmin are there for it, it just doesn't work. Currently an issue with D-Link and AT&T (firmware manufacturer)

"(AT&T has promised a firmware upgrade in coming months that will allow the gateway to be installed behind an existing router.)"

I don't see how such a setup (modem-router-TA) could perform QoS (bandwidth control) - RM

seems to explain the bug you have encountered. Maybe?
