Bridging Westel 6100G with Linksys WRT54G v5

[danielinirving]

I am trying to bridge my modem so I can setup a personal web server on port 80. First off, will verizon allow port 80 to even function outside of their modem? If so, why is it that I set my modem to bridge mode and turn off private LAN DHCP Server Enable, and setup my Linksys to PPPoE with my correct username and password, and my router is unable to obtain an IP address? Can anyone assist on this issue?

It's not your Verizon router thats blocking your port 80 outbound traffic from your computer, its the Verizon servers. Verizon blocks outbound port 80 traffic on residential accounts. Regardless if you completely remove the verizon router or not, you can not send traffic out on port 80. I apologize for the inconvenience this causes.

You are mistaken as port 80 is not blocked. Just wanted to let you know but thanks for trying.
