Your modem might have reset itself and if it has reset, it might have turned on its NAT firewall again. One way of checking if your NAT is on is to check on your IP. If youre getting an IP of 192.x.x.x then youre modem is not TOTALLY set to bridged. Bridging would need the NAT firewall turned off as ...

For Cisco switches you really need to configure the VLAN connection. Check on some commands for that. You need to create the VLAN names and set switch ports/interfaces to be a member of the VLAN name. You could then create trunking for that if you want a VLAN to be a networked to another VLAN. I ...

The router is naturally having NAT firewall. All routers have that and not just the Microsoft Base Station. Well, you dont need to set it to bridge since it will only provide connection to 1 PC if no other router cascaded to is. Just do UPnP or Port Triggering so the RTR firewall will allow the ...
