[ remote stations :: 192.168.1.dhcp ] - [ 192.168.1.1 :: IPCop :: 203.79.isp.address ] [ modem ]Hi,
I see a number of you are very familiar with using Jetstream type services so hope you don't mind my asking this question here....
I get a new jetstream connection later this week.
Telecom sent me a DSL Modem (Dynalink from memory - don't have it in front of me at moment) - it says it is for connecting a single computer.
I also have a Netgear WGU624 wireless firewall router for connecting up my home computers. This has a port labelled 'Broadband Modem' where I assume I connect it to the Dynalink.
Does anyone know if this will work? Or am I going to have problems with the modem only supporting one internal address since box says for single pc?
I haven't taken the Netgear stuff out of it's wrapping yet in case I need something different (but I did like it's specs for speed and distance). I can always try sending the Dynalink back to telecom for something different - it was part of special promotion they had last month with free modem.
I have done this before. Your router SHOULD be able to be set with the IP address you desire (dhcp assigned, from memory?)
The BROADBAND PORT as you righty assume, is OUTPUT...Throw the modem on this... The router needs to do two things for your setup to work...
NAT and DHCP... The router needs two addresses... inside and outside...
192.168.1.xyz (usually called the INSIDE range (or green zone for us IPCoppers)) for the internal network... NAT (Network Address Translation) to translate your 192.168.1.100 traffic to 203.79.xyz.abc (outside address), and DHCP so that any computer attached to your network, automatically settles down to the job...seemlessly...
Those things in mind, you sound pretty much bang on the money!
