Configuring static ip with a Linksys wag35v2 help


[link to this post]
 
I have recently switched over to Ukfsn, and have been issued with a static IP block. It was issued to me as 87.127.133.184/29 but presume that was a typo and it should be 87.127.133.184/92.

I am using only one pc at the moment, and all I need to be able to do is to change what external IP I am using from my block whenever necessary (I use multiple account on certain web service that require unique IP's.). I had a Dreytek on loan last week, and this was a breeze to do on it....but now I am back to my linksys, and its got me confuddled.

So, I have disabled NAT and DCHP as recommended on the ukfsn site, and have configured the router like this http://www.ooglewoogle.ukfsn.org/config.jpg . This configuration seems to connect fine as displayed on the connection details page seen here: http://www.ooglewoogle.ukfsn.org/connected.jpg - but it doesn't seem to work (unless I am setting the tcp/ip setting wrong, which no doubt I am!).

I'm pretty sure that the way I have this configured is incorrect. I really don't know what to enter as the gateway for the ip...so have just presumed it was the first number of my static block...is this correct? or? If this is correct for the gateway, what should I put in the IP box...the next number up in my block?

I know that the subnet mask should be 255.255.255.248 for both the wan and lan....and think I am right in saying that whatever I put in the wan ip box should be mirrored in the lan box....?

Finally, when configuring tcp/ip on my pc what should I enter? Once the router is set up right, can I just change between ips from my block by entering the desired IP here?

As you can see, I'm a total router newb....and am very confused!

All help greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Er No, it is correct. 29 is a representation of the subnet mask 255.255.255.248.
