Re: want to open up LAN IP address Just wanted to say that what ADSL Guy is suggesting worked perfectly for me. By turning on bridging I was able to use my static IPs for certain machines and still use the routers NAT to assign private IPs to other machines. We use MS Operating systems so all machines are still on the same LAN as far as Microsoft Printer and File sharing is concerned (I used NetBEUI for sharing but I'm not sure if that was critical). Basically, the static IPs are "wide open" I drove myself crazy for a few days trying to figure out how to accomplish this--Cayman and SBC tech support told me it was impossible but I finally worked my way through it (with the help of a Sys Admin friend of mine) and learned a heck of a lot in the process. Wish I could have talked to ADSL guy back then!
Anyway, if you need any assistance in doing this with your setup I'd be glad to tell you how our system is set up. I'm not a network guru but I believe that I understand enough to help if you need it. |

Port Neches, TX | Well when you're installing and setting up Cayman routers almost everyday you get pretty good at configuring them for all the different ways customers want them. We (ASI) also use the Efficient 5861, but I prefer the Cayman.
