Quick question, I hope. I got a new Hitron CGNM-2250 router with SHAW. I've got it setup for IP Pass Through and my Aiport is still doing my network/wireless. What seems to have stopped working is my port forward for Remote Desktop from the outside. I'm attempting to connect to the IP which my DNS updater shows, as well as ipchicken, but no joy. I haven't done much looking into the Hitron, but do I have to setup something on the Hitron for port forwarding as well, even though it's in IP Pass through mode?

Also, does anyone run the Cisco modem? Sounds like they'll only let you use that one if you want to do bridged as they won't bridge the Hitron?

I run the Cisco modem and have had no issues with it. Not sure about only letting you use it to do bridged, as my does not have a bridge.

I have the Hitron as well and had no issues. IP passthrough takes the second IP assigned to your account and uses that on the port you specify in the setup. Make sure the IP address is the correct one for the passthrough port and not the one that goes through the rest of your Hitron ports. Not sure about the rest.

If I remember right you cannot bridged on either the Cisco or the Hitron as these are disabled. IP passthrough is the best you can do for these.

What? You can configure DNS on the router itself? I always thought you only did it OS side?

Anyone know if I have to do both? Or just one of the two is sufficient?

I'll have to look into this tonight.

Yup, you can change the DNS on the router and they will apply for all devices connected to the router. The PC can just be left to automatically grab IP/DNS/etc. from the router.

FYI - I stopped doing the DNS config at the router level, both Shomi and CraveTV won't work with it on.

You can, but you have two options:

1. Call Shaw and get them to do it for you.

2. Use my method to put it into bridged mode yourself. (Cisco model only.)

Here's how:

i. Log into the router on 192.168.0.1, and disable wireless and LAN DHCP. You'll need to manually set your NIC to 192.168.0.x after you apply the changes. I turned off the firewall functionality as well, under the Security header.
ii. After the reset, log back into the router, and click the Administration header; select the Management tab. Here's where the option would normally be to change to Bridged Only. We're going to add it, sort of.
iii. Use the F12 developer tools in IE or Firefox, edit the HTML and look for the beginning of the form:

<form name="administration" action="/goform/Administration" method="POST">


You'll see a line like this: <input type="hidden" value="1" name="preworkingmode">
I pasted my modification a line above it: <input type="hidden" value="1" name="working_mode">

This may cause the page to bug out; that's fine. Don't change anything else on the page or in the form, hit Save Settings.

iv. The device will reset itself. You'll have to use a new IP address to access it -- 192.168.100.1. Once it responds on that address and you see a login page, you can replace your old modem with it.

That does work from what I've read, but was probably just as fast starting an online chat with Shaw.

Swapped the Hitron out for a bridged Cisco today and everything is golden. Told them at the SHAW store that I wanted it bridged and they applied the setting right there. Got home, plugged it in, and everything just worked.

Probably, however the thing that pissed me off was that Shaw told me, swore up and down, that they would ship me the device with it already in that configuration. When it didn't, I decided the last thing I was going to do was waste time and rely on them again.

It should automatically redirect you to https:// if you enter http://.

Yup, not supported on tablets or phones. Surprised it didn't prompt you to get or launch the app.

Do any of the Shaw boxes have an HDMI in or passthrough? Ideally I'd like to be able to plug in a blu-ray player and if there's a movie playing the TV shows that, and if not then whatever channel is shown. And the appropriate audio sent out to the home theatre stuff.

Pretty sure any Shaw box with HDMI only has an HDMI out. The only input they ever have is for coax.
