He's using the server as his LAN router. The Netgear router isn't routing in the lay sense of the word. That is, in the topography of his network, it's not directing traffic here or there. It is only sitting there between his server (which is the real router on his LAN), and the cable modem, but it's opening packets, and repackaging them as a router does, and not simply passing them through as a bridge would.

I didn't get that from the picture he supplied which I inserted below.
The server isn't even mentioned separately and local routing is basically
uneeded and handled by the switch. Either the Linksys or the Netgear
has to be handling the external routing.

Various computers on the LAN (I assume this includes the server)
V
Network switch
V
Linksys
V
Netgear cable modem/router
V
Comcast headend equipment

GET THE NETGEAR REPLACED WITH A PLAIN OLD MODEM !!!!!

Like a Motorola or Linksys and tell those idiots to provision it and if
they don't know how, have them ask another ISP or Google and find out.
