Has anyone got a Netcomm 1300+4 running FULL BRIDGE mode ? Can you offer any suggestions on what I should look at?
I have a number of them running on Swiftel. The simple fact is that I've found that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
Swiftel say it's a Telstra problem, that on some lines PPPoE just doesn't work and so you have to use PPPoA on the modem. I don't think they know what the problem is. The fact is that in some situations it just can't be made to work.
So you have a couple of options:
(a) replace the modem. It might work better with a different modem, can't guarantee this because I haven't tried it although the reports on whirlpool seem to indicate that this is the case.
(b) pay for a 4 IP netblock from Swiftel and run the modem as a router, giving you a spare (routed) IP for your SSL server.
(c) change ISPs. TPG run all of their modems in bridged mode and it always works all of the time. They don't have a reasonably priced 512/512 plan, though, and I find their network is a bit slower than Swiftel's.
