I can't port forward in this instance. We sound out newsletters from an internal mail server that must not use the ISP's assigned IP address (spam black lists etc)

Thanks though

Any idea's on how I can progress?

find a manual for the router. As it's not a common item some screenshots posted somewhere might help.

Note that the WAN side of a BT ADSL connection does not use DHCP (referring to it as such is confusing)

Also you didn't address my point of setting the external IPs on the client devices.

In that case, you'll need independent hosting. A friend of mine is at the moment looking for a host for the same purpose. I'll let you know how he gets on.

Phill,

I have setup my devices that require the public IP to use the public IP they require. They how ever, do not report to the outside work that they are on that IP, instead they appear as if they are on the gateway IP (adsl modem.)

BT's multiple static IP setup requires the modem to connect via DHCP. This then leaves you with the whole block of static IP's to use. Other services require you to use one of your block to assign to the modem.

Some screenshots. I have tried to keep as much info in there as possible without exposing everuything:

the modem does not use DHCP to connect to BT. It gets a dynamic IP via PPP negotiaiton, but that'a an aside.

They how ever, do not report to the outside work that they are on that IP, instead they appear as if they are on the gateway IP (adsl modem.)

should the setting at http://img718.imageshack.us/i/20194842.png/ not be "multiple IPs" ?

Hi, all I can find for the BT 2Wire 2700HGV to setup multiple static IP addresses from ISP.

http://support.2wire.com/?page=view&article=126&text...

If you cannot get the 2Wire to work purchase the 3Com 3CRWDR101A-75 or 3Com 3CRWDR100A-72 router on eBay, bid up to £30/£20 these routers are a cinch to setup multiple static IP addresses supplied by your ISP.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ADSL-3Com-wireless-router-/150...

http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=m570&_nkw=...

The 2700HGV did work with multiple IP's. That wasn't the issue.

The 2700HGV caused the internal network to favour one LAN IP when it came to traffic shaping. So if I were downloading or uploading a file, it would stop ANYONE (including me) from accessing the network.

This meant that I could not access the 2700HGV's setup, internal servers or the internet. If I were to stop the download/upload, everything would work again.

We have been sent out three seperate devices all with the same issue and BT refuse to acknowledge or support the issue.

I'll take a look at those ebay links, there are some at a small price, so it may be worth a try.

cheers

When I enable that setting, I have to assign the wireless router to the gateway IP (0.0.0.0) for the internet to work on my normal internal network.

But then... I lose all internet connectivity on the devices connected that require an external static IP? (Can't ping google.com or it's IP)

Maybes this is where I am going wrong?

Cheers

Are you saying the IP address of your router is 0.0.0.0? I believe you should not be using that address. Try changing the router to a more standard address such as 192.168.0.1.

Sorry I should have explained. In the multiple IP settings 0.0.0.0 refers to the WAN Modem's ip, beign the one that BT assigned me.

Cheers
