Looking at the information that the ISP has supplied .... > IP address: 64.xxx.28.198 > subnet mask: 255.255.255.252 > gateway address: 64.xxx.28.197 > > LAN IP Addresses (if any) > ------------------------- > LAN subnet: 255.255.255.240 > Starting IP: 64.xxx.26.176 > First Usable IP: 64.xxx.26.178 .... I'm guessing this is the configuration they anticipated you to use: ISP Network ----------------------- Gateway (on ISP Network) 64.xxx.28.197/30 | | (xDSL Network) | | 64.xxx.28.198/30 xDSL Interface ----------------------- Your SDSL Router ----------------------- Ethernet Interface 64.xxx.26.177/28 | | | Your LAN 64.xxx.26.178 - 190/28 To clarify their info: > LAN subnet: 255.255.255.240 > Starting IP: 64.xxx.26.176 64.xxx.26.176 is the network address, this identifies the subnet and is unavailable for assigning to an interface. > First Usable IP: 64.xxx.26.178 64.xxx.26.178 is the first uasble IP address on your LAN assuming you assign 64.xxx.26.177 to the LAN (inside) interface of the router. You then have all the addresses upto and including 64.xxx.26.190 for use on the LAN. 64.xxx.26.191 is the LAN broadcast address. If this is correct, using m0n0wall as a firewall there are a number of options available to you to make best use of the assigned public IP addresses relevant to the size/configuration of your network. How did you want to use these addresses?
