How to Turn Off Netopia Firewalls
Netopia is a family of DSL modems created by Motorola. A DSL modem is a network bridging device that relays packets between a digital subscriber line provided by a telecommunication company, and an Ethernet local area network at the subscriber's site. Like most DSL modems, Netopia devices have firewall capabilities built into their hardware, but you can disable this feature with a few clicks.
