Multiple Ip's
 

Hi All.

Some of you may know that I am getting Pipex adsl soon for my business. I am looking at the dlink adsl modem for the connection - http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=67

My question is this.... I have looked at all the specs / user guide ect. but I cant find out if the modem supports multiple IP's..... My firewall can hapily support 10+ so thats not a problem ! I want to buy a block of 8 IP's (6 IP's) so I can run the web servers, unix servers and ftp servers on different IP's

Have any of you ever used the multiple IP service with this modem... I have tried to email Dlink but have yet to get a reply....

Many Thanks

Not sure how relevant it is, but I've had an 8 IP ADSL service for over three years now, and it's actually a *nine* IP service, the extra one is for the external interface on your router, the network of 8 is then are assigned to the internal interface(s) with one being reserved for the gateway on the router, one for broadcast, leaving you with 5 in total (bad idea to use the first in the range, although it may work).

The router simply routes between the two networks, no NAT or anything. Any modem/router that allows you to set your own internal range and gateway should work. Mine's a Draytek Vigor2600WE and I can recommend it very highly.

Hi Stu,

the magic phrase is 'pass through IP support'

I had this prob with a nildram account for a vpn to boss's house.

check DSL guide for info on a modem, can t remember what I bought in the end, wasnt the dlink though!

dont forget ,as BBking says, you wont get the whole range as usable.

Hmmm... I am now wondering if I will be able to get the PIX to manage the connection. May have to set it ip as a isdn on the pix ???????? Never mind - I am sure I will work it out. :)

Thanks for the info guys :)
