some stuff i am looking to get rid of

I have a bunch of power supplies, cd/DVD drives, floppy drives, video cards,game controller cards,  network cards, dial up modems, SCSI cards, motherboards (2 w/CPU+heat sync, 1 with a CPU no heat sync and one with no CPU) and even a 2 port KVM switch, a TV tuner, a wireless network card, a zip drive and a digium card (i might keep that one)

I will try to inventory what I have that I am trying to get rid as soon as possible. In the mean time, if there is something you see, that you want, or if you do not see something and are looking for something I might still have it.

email me at nyphonejacks at yahoo dot com or message me on twitter to inquire about anything specific.

Added image to http://nyphonejacks.blogspot.com/2010/01/quick-and-easy-verizon-dsl-installation.html to help with the instructions how to activate a DSL modem with out needing to install the bloatware CD or set up a user name and password.

Port forwarding with a Verizon DSL modem

These instructions have been created with a Westell 7500 modem, but most of the firmware on Verizon modems are identical so this should work for all other versions of Verizon DSL modems.

I really recommend that you use a "real" router if you need to set up port forwarding. But I understand the need to set up port forwarding for certain circumstances where you do not have a router at the location.

Remember Verizon generally will block port 80, so if you are trying to set up port forwarding for HTTP then you should consider using a different port.

First click on FIREWALL SETTINGS on the top bar

Then click on PORT FORWARDING on the left side bar.

Click YES to proceed. 

Click NEW, ADD or the icon on the right to add a new port forward rule.  

Choose a service from the pull down menu OR click CREATE. 

Pull down menu choices. 

1. Enter the name of your custom service
2. Select port forwarding or port triggering
3. Choose Protocol, Ports and direction.

Choose HOST or DYNAMIC.

You can choose from PCs that have been discovered on your network, or specify the IP address of the destination. 

When enabling port forwarding it is recommended that the PC or networked device that you are port forwarding to should have a static IP on your LAN
