Bridge Actiontec PK5000?

[dwestendorf]

I've got a client who has Qwest DSL coming in via an Actiontec PK5000. Behind the PK5000 I have a Sonicwall TZ180. Currently all the traffic is being passed to the Sonicwall via the DMZ feature on the PK5000, and it seems to be working most of the time. The issue is that all the traffic is double NAT'ed. I would like to avoid this if possible.

Does anyone know how to bridge a PK5000? Is it even possible? I don't see a setting for it anywhere, and I've searched the interwebs in vain. Perhaps someone could suggest a better setup?

Thanks for any advice!

Daniel

Have you tried the "Transparent Bridging" option? That should eliminate the second NAT at the PK5000.
