Ok, so I just upgraded my DSL to static IP business class in the hopes that I would be able to use my linux server downstairs as a web server without having to run a cable to it.
So here is what I know about SBC DSL. It isn't true static IP. Apparently, the block of 8 useable addresses assigned to you are provided via some strange configuration of PPPoE.
So if you want to connect any of your systems to the internet, you can use one of the 5 "useable" addresses with most routers. Why? Because the routers usually will not support a configuration where they manage the PPPoE connection and then allow you to static route the 5 IP addresses assigned to you to computers on your internal Lan.
So..does anyone know of a wireless router which will do the following all at the same time?
1. Establish a PPPoE connection on behalf of the network.
2. Allow static routing of up to 5 additional IP addresses to internal computers. While still working as a DHCP server for other systems?
