If that link was for the right modem, then he should have no problem.
Further down the page, the product details say:  "Allows Multiple users
to share a single IP address on the same ADSL connection".  That implies
that it does something like NAT (the modem gets your public IP, your LAN
runs on a different subnet using private IPs).

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
