Hi everyone,

It is a pain that the new M10's give an error when you attempt to pinhole through ports 80 & 23. It does this because it uses these ports on the internal side for the config access via the web and telnet (it shouldn't matter but it does). However you do not need to change these in order to get the pinholing to work.
When you open a new browser window and point it at the new m10's (192.168.1.254) it will ask you for a user name and password. Leave user name blank and put 'Telecom' in for the password (the capital T is important!). This will enable you to add new pinholes. When adding the pinholes if you stipulate a range it doesn't give you the error (I don't know why it just doesn't!). ie...

80 81 192.168.1.1 80
23 24 192.168.1.1 23

Your web servers and telnet should work with this config.

The Efficient Internal modems are going to be made available to a small number of trialists who are having problems with getting some applications (games, netmeeting etc...) to work with the NAT on the M10's (sort of a trial within a trial ;-) ). These are only available with drivers for Win 95 / 98 / NT and require additional proxy software if you want to connect a LAN. They do however provide a public IP (albiet dynamic) to the system they are installed in.

I would also like to collect together a list of the applications that you 'Power Users' have managed to get going and how you have configured the pinholing to do this. I will then put this together and pop it into an FAQ on setting up the m10's. Reply with the details to me directly and the group as a whole.
 
Issues like this go part and parcel with a trial and I appreciate your patience and input.

Thanks,
Mark Barlow :-)
