[Gllug] ADSL configuration

[Stephen Harker]

Hi All
I have 2 ADSL routers at seperate sites.
The First one was set up by BT as a BT Openworld connection and it
presents real internet ip addresses from a block to its ethernet ports
on the back, ie. I can plug machines in to the ethernet ports on the
router and give them public addresses.
The second one was a self-install by me. The way it's set up is PPPoA
etc... but the ethernet port is given an ip from a private (192.168 ...)
address. So the router is doing the NAT itself. There is a setting for
Bridged Ethernet on the setup pages. Is that what I need to play with in
order to get ip addresses from our allocated block presented at the
ethernet port? ie the router has one (public) ip and the machine hanging
off the ethernet port is given another (public) ip in the same netblock.
I tried turning NAT off but that didn't seem to work at all :-/
I just need a subtle hint or two to get me in the right direction.
Ta
Steve.
