Thanks for offering to help.

I don't have a router.  Do I need to get one?

The modem is Westell Model 2200.

Yes, I can get to the modem's web interface at address 192.168.1.1.  But I don't know how to use it
to configure the NAT.  If it can be done maybe that will solve my problem.

I don't know offhand what the various ports are for, but I know that various parts of the Internet
use various ports.  Telnet uses port 23 ordinarily, right?  (But it can be changed).  FTP uses
another, and HTML another (or maybe several others).
