Frontier DSL – Bridge Mode Setup

Posted by lightnin93 on October 14, 2016 in Software |

I had another adventure with Frontier.  The main support people don’t seem to get any training.  They are just hired and said Go.  I needed to setup DSL as a backup internet connection for a client.  It has to be in Bridge mode to pass all internet traffic to my firewall.  I have an Exchange email server, VPN server, phone server that have some access from the outside.  Main support people couldn’t help me get the Frontier Modem/Router setup in bridge mode.  I was told I need the higher support which is an additional cost.  In the end I was able to get it to work.

So this morning I’m shaving and read that my shaving cream has “Maca Root” in it. That made me think about all this stuff out there that we use. I then envisioned God loving to play hide and seek. So during creation he put all these things in the world for us find and use.
