Nah, it won't do a NAT either.
Remember this is a "Residential" Cox modem which is an ISP brand, I
don't know if you have that in the U.K., it would be like having a
British Telecom branded modem. It will only do Port Forwarding or a
DMZ. And it was dumbed down.
They have even taken away that ability from the modem itself. You are
redirected to a Cox wifi site (even though I have wifi turned off) with
limited parameters then turns around and reconfigures your modem after
you commit.
At one point I reset to default condition on the modem. When I came
back up Port Forwarding was there. I was able to add ONE port forward
on the admin page modem itself. After I committed, the ability went
away. So they are doing something to the admin page of the modem after
a reset to take that ability away and redirect you to their web site.
By the way, when I manually added the HP3000 to the list of connected
devices (it auto-detected everything else) I had to use the MAC
address. Then it asked what kind of device it was? e.g.:
Desktop
Phone
Laptop
Light
Garage Door
Camera
Game Console
Storage
Misc.
Alarm
.. and a bunch of other things ..
I had to pick "Misc".
Apparently, because I used the beginning 08:00:09 ... for the MAC
Address at least it came back with "HP Device".
