Hello, I have a Apple Airport Extreme 802.11n base station that worked fine with a Comcast router. When setting up with Comcast router, I set the comcast router as a bridge and the Airport Extreme did all the work as the primary router. When I switched to Verizon FIOS today, I got the typical double NAT error (which I did with the Comcast until setting up the Comcast router as a bridge). However, the FIOS tech support guy said that was not an option so he setup my Airport Extreme in the bridge mode - router mode off. This really screws up incoming access using SSH, Timbuktu, or Apple Screen Sharing since I can't assign fixed IP addresses for computers on my network and can't use the Port Settings option in Network in Airport Utility to open 'pipes' for a particular computer. Plus, I'm more comfortable using the Airport Extreme rather than the FIOS stuff. Anyone have suggestions other than going back to Comcast?
