OK. I have not done this myself so reporting at second hand.

1. First you REQUIRE to have more than one fixed IP address assigned in 
your block. Two is the absolute minimum.

2. ***I am informed that all details are somewhere on the Zyxel 
website*** Try looking for NAT and passthrough and IPSec.

Briefly, on the router:

- you must turn off the firewall
- set the LAN address to the router IP (set a static IP)
- turn off NAT
- optionally set up DHCP which must exactly match the IP block you have 
been assigned (this makes it easier to connect to admin it).

Then continue as per instructions on web site or in manual. I looked at 
the manual, it's not explicit but can I think be disentangled. It's 
basically just the above.

If you don't have multiple fixed IP addresses this will not work. Best 
advice is to buy a modem that permits pass through - various can do this.
