Yeah, it "kinda" looks like that in some way ...
The Viasat unit has the line that goes to the microwave equipment at
the
dish which I assume is something like a one GHz intermediate
frequency
signal modulated with the date. I have no access to that, it does
have
two ethernet ports they state are identical and apparently can be
used
interchangeably, at this moment one is connected to the ethernet
switch
and feeding this computer assigned the ip 192.168.1.47 by the
viasat
router dhcp server. If I put the viasat unit into it's bridged mode
I
would expect output as 182.168.1.1 but not sure of that.
However they insist that bridged mode can not be used, I think
because
it kills the voip interface which is integral to the viasat
router/modem.

Can you modify settings in the modem? it would be best if you could
router 192/168.0.0/24 (255.255.0.0) to the router. Don't use NAT on the
router in that case, but let it do DHCP on the LAN with a different IP-
range 192.168.x where x is not 1. Port forwardings are then set on the
Viasat to the internal addresses (192.168.x.y). So you use the router
for routing and firewall, but not NAT. This is the cleanest solution.
LAN stations van still access the Viasat through its 192.168 address if
the router is properly configured and its firewall allows the traffic
If the Viasat can do this it will work wonderfully...
