Quite possible, but I also tried a Linksys WAG54GS on the line. That is similarly affected. Anyway, resolved now that Timico have done what Zen, ADSL24, and Coms did, ie allocating a separate WAN IP that's outside my /29 range.

I was with Zen from 2005 to 2008 or so when I switched to ADSL24. I can confirm that the WAN IP they push out on authentication was distinct from the /29 I had with them.

I've never seen Zen do this - I'm quite intrigued by this as AFAIK they will only allocate you a standard subnet, and not the separate wan (in the style xilo/uno does for example).

I did shift from them in 2008, mind, and I was on the Home 250 product at the time.

Good old Home 250, there's a throwback to the past!
