Re: BT Home Hub 6 as only a modem?

Thanks Geoff,

My HH 6 also has a DMZ option that I've now found :-)
A couple of questions on configuration - my network is 192.168.1.etc, do I
assign the DMZ to be in that same range, or a different private range, i.e.
10.0.0.etc. ?
I also do (did) port forwarding and dynamic DNS on my Vigor to reach a
couple of internal services, will that continue to work on my side of the
DMZ with no changes or do I need to configure that on the home hub, i.e.
the first device?

Many thanks,
Tim.
