Re: [modem/router] getting a wireless dsl modem
And that is only part of the question. What he wanted to know is how does he get it to not create a subnetwork and for all of his pc's to pull public IP's. While this could be done in the past (and was against the TOS), Verizon has killed this ability in pretty much all areas. Also, what you didn't tell him, was that if you turn of the DHCP server, all you are doing is not assigning an IP from the modem. You aren't stopping the creation of a subnetwork. For them to function with the modem, you would still have to assign them IP's manually in the same subnet as the modem. What's the point of not creating the subnet if you now can't use the modem? I would have been content to discuss this in IM, as you had asked, but since you began to discuss it here, I'll oblige.
If you want to help, fine, all help is welcome. Just please make sure that it is the correct help. Telling someone how to turn off the DHCP server is not necessarily help. Determining exactly what the issue trying to be corrected and providing the relevant information is. |

| The short answer to the private lan part is the only way to do it, is by bridging the modem and having the single computer itself connect through it. Then it will pull the public ip itself (either as dhcp or pppoe). This is far less secure and possibly less stable though. As for wireless, the only way wireless will work, is by running through a given subnet. |
