New DSL Line Questions

[rbolduc]

I have a new circuit being installed and this provider is doing things a little differently. They are saying I would need a cisco or some other 2 port router to make this work. hers the layout ip's are of course just for show ;)

72.1.1.1 GW at NOC
72.1.1.20 MY IP
255.255.255.0

From there they are routing 69.1.1.128/25 to me

so would I need a basic free V3 system with 2 ports to do this?

My "core router" has plenty of free nics but I cant use the 72.x.x.x addresses because I think nat will try to use that address and that gateway. I am just not seeing something right here.


Thank's

You have the right idea. If StarV3 is your preferred way to make a PC into a router, go ahead.

Put a PC router in between the DSL and your core router so the core router gets the use of the 69.1.1.128/25 IPs for NAT purposes if you are intending to use NAT.
