       In other words, you had a modem+router, and now you have a modem.

       Still true.  You still haven't revealed what your "my Cable Modem"
    actually is.

    > Do you see any problems with this?

       If it works, then it works.  If you want an opinion on any details,
    then you might consider providing some useful information on what you
    have, what you do, and what happens when you do it.

I will try the MyIPAddress again and report back.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

And I meant to say Time Warner now Spectrun and not Time Warner not Spectrum.

      Yes, Time Warner said that they configure the cable modem like this (not bridge) for security reasons.

       

      When I logged into the cable modem, the bridge option was not available to me.

       

      Time Warner had to configure on their end. The unit was a Ubee DDW365.

       

      The NetGear firewall in not effected by this correct?

      thats why the remote access is not working without bridging the modem.
