Hello, I've got a /30 from Eclipse and that's all you get. Your ADSL modem is automatically assigned the first address in the /30. Some ADSL routers allow you to configure the LAN address to match the WAN address, which then leaves you one more usable address for the WAN side of your firewall.

Steve, I've had a look at Eclipse's tech support pages. Looks like you have been allocated a /30 block of addresses, 4 in total 2 usable (2 are the network and broadcast addresses). This is in addition to a single address that is allocated to the ADSL router automatically when it connects to the service. A /30 block is ideal for m0n0wall and a cheap no-frills ADSL-ethernet router will do the job as long as Network Address Translation can be disabled. NAT will be performed at your m0n0wall. The two addresses you have are assigned to the Ethernet interface of the ADSL router and the WAN interface of m0n0wall. m0n0wall uses the address assigned to the Ethernet interface of the ADSL router as its default gateway. The instructions that Eclipse have for configuring a Speedtouch for no-NAT should give you a better idea of what I mean, but use 255.255.255.252 as a subnet mask. The subnet mask of 255.255.255.248 used in their example is for a /29 address block. A suitable cheap router is the Conexant chipset based Dynamode R-ADSL-C4S @ £22.20 from Scan (http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=96221). We use these all the time together with m0n0wall on Soekris hardware. Just disable the routers internal firewall and NAT.
