can i bridge the modem to my airport express? I looked in the settings for the airport and it doesnt appear to support VLAN tagging.

could i get an untagged connection to get around this or do i have to set up yet another router just so i can use port forwarding?

this is what the settings on the airport express look like:

hmm allrighty, so i booted up my dlink dir615, found that i couldnt vlan tag on the stock firmware so i put DDWRT on. there seems to be a vlan 7 and a vlan 8 option, but no vlan 10 option. help, sorry i've never done this before :P

please and thank you!

heres the settings page:

and if this doesnt work, is there any way i can request an untagged connection or is it required for something?

i had a play around to see if i could get it working myself, i put all my slingshot username and password and whatnot into the dlink router, set the slingshot modem to bridging but the dlink wouldnt connect.

i put it back to how it was before :P

help i need an adult :P
