I am using Singapore's - Singtel ISP
1. Example if I want to change my Siemens Speedstream 4100 DSL modem to an ADSL modem(eg D-link model). Do I need to make some settings like entering my IP address in the D-link ADSL modem or what...so i can surf the net?
2. My Siemens Speedstream 4100 DSL modem can't be portforward(maybe using a semi-crippled firmware) as it only can surf the net. If I want to portforward, what can I do?
Is it to buy a router and set my siemens dsl modem to bridge mode then it will work OR some other suggestions?

Well, a speedstream modem passes ALL TRAFFIC so it shouldn't need to PORT forward all ports are forwarded!
If you are attempting to setup a server (which is the only reason you need to forward ports) and you can't get it to work, you need to check with your ISP. They may have some ports blocked in order to prevent this! In which case their terms of use probably prevent you from getting those inbound packets. Modems are NOT ROUTERS just connectors.
Modems are in "bridge" mode.
