Eh.. no not really or at least not all of it. A 'public ip' is supposed to be the internet routable ip assigned by your provider. This is the address you would see when you go to something like http://www.whatismyip.com
I think this doc is for people who still require PPPoE but are somehow are assigned a block of static ip addresses once connected. This is not a situation I've seen in practice in the real world but I guess it is possible. See what you can do about disabling NAT and DHCP and then configure the modem as bridge. Another guide on enabling bridge mode http://www.seidata.com/bridge Disabling NAT (might not be necessary, but you can try it if all else fails) http://www.netopia.com/support/hardware/technotes/CQG_015.html DHSinclair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: http://www.netopia.com/support/hardware/technotes/CQG_042.html Tharin, I have stumbled across this netopia process for disabling the modem's nat when a router will be behind the modem. Can I follow it to try again to set this modem up? The only question about this process is that it requires me to use "public lan address" (of the router?). This is step 10b. Can I use the router's address (192.168.2.1) as my "public" address even though it is really another private address on a different subnet than the modem (192.168.1.254)? If so, I think this 3341 just may work! Best, Duncan
