A way to do this is to configure your servers on a 'DMZ' on the Draytek and then have it configured with static one to one NAT mappings from your public range to your private addresses for the servers.

Yes the Draytek WAN port woudl also have it's own public routable IP address from your range.

In static subnet mode both NAT & most Firewall features on the superhub are greyed out and inactive. Use the Draytek to act as your firewall.


Also the Draytek (or other device) would then act as your DHCP server, not the superhub, as it would purely connect to the Draytek.

What you have described is simialar to my setup, except instead of a Draytek I am using a Cisco 892W. It works well.


Out of interest - if you got told no new installs from sales - how was it engineers turned up? I heard the policy now was they would install for large corporates and public sector customers, but not SMEs

Hi ccarmock,

Thanks for the usefull informaition

i will give that a go when the package is "finally" out

am i right in thinking that the Draytek router's public ip address will be the servers public ip but the server using a internal Nat address instead using a dmz

would i be able to assign more than one public ip addresses to other hosts that are connected to my draytek router ? (using a ip routing for 2nd subnet) see web link

or would i need to configure static routes see link below ?

to answer your question the cable was installed by the residential team we was on a package called "the biz" which we thought included a static ip address but it didnt include that so we rang up the business sales team (after spending a full day on the phone being transfered about by tech support sales you name it we pratically spoke to every department in the company) and told them we was misssold "the biz" package and we wanted to move over to the business as soon as possible as our 15 day cooling off period was going to run out with the residential team so we was told that the 50MB package isnt out yet but you can get the "slow" 10MB package with a "fixed" ip address so we managed to get a free install because we was miss sold the biz package we had to pull a few strings abit with speaking to some of the managers after being messed about alot with some of the staff that clearly didnt no what they was talking about (we actually got transfered to the tv tivo department wtf lol) i'm not joking we was on the phone for hours trying to sort this problem out

the service is great but the customer service isnt so great IMO

and also when the engineers came over they just installed the cisco modem they didnt actually assign a "fixed" ip address to the mac address on wan1 on my draytek router so i was without full use of the internet for the first week i thought it was a problem with my router i ended up sending the router back to draytek as faulty but in the end it turned out that my "fixed ip" wasnt binded to my mac address

but after all the problems i eventually managed to get the 10MB service working
