HughesNet Satellite Internet Service
HughesNet is nearly the only option for individuals in rural America to have high speed broadband Internet.
HughesNet is discussed on the Satellite Internet Service Providers Index area of the Wiki, under the HughesNet section.
HughesNet is a fraudulent company.
Dannery (the engineers name) with advanced support: (March 24, 2008) The 7000 cannot due port forwarding. HughesNet only supports Microsoft Windows with Internet Explorer and Outlook Express for Email. Anything else is considered 3rd party and not supported by HughesNet.
The HN7000S CPE (a modem and router for satellite Internet service) is not capable of operation in a bridge mode configuration. It only works as a router performing NAT. It cannot be configured for port forwarding. It is not fully capable, it is a handicap device that lacks the full functionality of standard CPE equipment.
CPE is acronym, Client Premise Equipment.
Custer is a HughesNet billing representative. He has personally dealt with customer complaints regarding the handicap CPE equipment now being distributed by HughesNet.

If you are ordering HughesNet you need to demand they provide a fully capable CPE at no additional charge, that can do port forwarding. Do not accept the HV700S, it is handicap, not fully capable, does not support port forwarding, and can not operate in bridge mode. It cannot be configured by the client.
