So I could setup a bridge connection and via the PPPOE dialer of netgear router, get it all up and running. When I ssh into the public IP that triband alloted me, I can get through. It is slow though. However, when I log on to a remote server and try accessing the same public IP there is no response from the system. Ping works fine. The netgear router does have port forwarding enabled properly.
