Eircom and Static Ip's

    Hi, I just got the Eircom 12mb adsl2 line with multiple static ip's added to it so that i could route various external ip address to internal web services. The router is a 2247-62 Netopia.

    I cannot find anywhere how i can get the adsl router to handle the multiple static ips much less route traffic to internal ip's.

    I rang eircom broadband support but they were of little help. Basically they told me the router was basic kit and that i'd have to telnet into the router to alter ip-maps settings but could not tell me how to do this. i did try telnet into the device but it has no menu driven options so i was out of my league real quick with the configuration options

    the other kit I am trying to route to are sonicwall 4060 routers (ideally each with one of the static ip's) but this currently does not work.

    Any Help Appreciated.

    Your going to have to place the device in bridge mode and configure the modem to have a static ip using the updated netmask eircom gave you. Once you do that you lose the ability to do nat / firewall etc on the router. Your going to need another routeror PC for NAT. Then you place those machines with public IPs into a DMZ. Alternatively you could use a linux box to both NAT and IP forwarding for the public IPs. There is also a concurrent routing / bridging mode on the netopias but Im not sure what that does.

    Eircom only supplied ip addresses so first i need to find out the netmask for the static ip list. the netopia router does not seem to support DMZ but i'm guessing as its in bridge mode that would be the job of the sonicwall?
