I have a DIR-615 and ATT is giving a pppoe static subnet, meaning they will hand me a /29.

All I need is a static IP. I don't need a subnet. NAT is fine. But ATT will only give a subnet.

So if I try to use this pppoe with /29 connection with a DIR-615, will it work? What will be the WAN IP of the router? Will it be the first usable? I don't see where I can define the WAN interface IP.

I can use a dynamic IP with Dlink DDNS if necessary. Or I can even ask someone at the site to do whatsmyip and tell it to me, and I can access the router with that, if need be.

thanks,

Peter

Sorry,

Its AT&T, Netgear 7550 modem/router set in bridged mode.

I presume this should work if the ISP Modem is in bridge mode and the 615 is set up to handle the PPPoE connection. Question, How is ATT handing out or what is there process to have external routers handle the connection? Most DSL connections if the ISP Modem is bridged so the PPPoE connect needs to be set up on the router under PPPoE Connection Type. However some ISPs can handle just using the DHCP connection type. I would ask the ISP what connetion type is needed, DHCP, Static IP or PPPoE and set the 615 appropriately.

The subnet I would presume only means that on there network, your services are apart of a bigger subnet with your surrounding neighbors. So what ever the modem and router sees on the WAN side should not effect anything on the LAN side as the routers NAT should be able to handle that.

Are you needing specific services on the LAN side?

[JetJaguar]

It is static pppoe. When I authenticate with the pppoe username and password, they will hand me a subnet.

Question: what will be the external public IP of the router? How will I access the router from the Internet?

Question: will the IPs of the static subnet be routed to the LAN side?

[FurryNutz]

The WAN side IP address should be something like ##.##.###.### (public), what ever ATT is handing out. It should not be a 192.168.0.# address, thats usually seen coming from modems that are not bridged and have internal routers.

That NAT and routing tables of the 615 router will be handling the translation of the WAN side traffic to the LAN side private IP addressing, 192.168.#.0-254.
