It sounds as if you have a static IP?  If not, do you just run
dhcpcd/pump on your router's public interface to get the address?
This is certainly what I'd need to do (short of getting a static IP,
which I'm hoping to avoid paying for), but I haven't been able to get
the modem (in bridge mode) to pass the dhcp requests through.
