[1] This is PLDT's configuration for their MyDSL package, which allocates private IP's via a DHCP server built in to their ADSL routers (which still do have private IP's). How I really wish I could just use at least one of the public IP's I have, if it only were really possible
I know someone who used to have this setting on his PLDT myDSL also, but he was able to ask the PLDT guy who installed it to reconfigure the ADSL router as a bridge. From then on, he was able to get a public IP on his box using PPPOE.
Just call PLDT support and convince them somehow to send someone over. Then ask the guy to change the device from router-mode to bridge-mode because you want to get a public IP on your machine.
I believe PLDT configures their CPE equipment as routers primarily as a convenience for non-technical users with simple web-surfing requirements.
