Hello all
I am having problems getting any connect to a pc on the network with the new at&t line. To give a brief overview
1. We have the static ip service
2. We have the motorola 2210, which is set in "gateway mode"
3. WE are using a linksys wireless router
As far as the internet connect, this works great. All the pc's in the network are working fine and can talk to each other. The problem is happening when for example we try to setup a ftp server on one of the network pc's, and try to use a client outside the network (on the internet) we cannot establish a connect. It almost seems like something is not 100% transparent and allowing a full tcp connect to the modem. I am not a big fan of these motorola modems as somehow they just don't seem veyr transparent, and also I think the static setup. When the tech had left, we where told that we had a range of "usable ip's". Currently on the router we just have it set to dynamic pppoe, so it is pulling an ip ending with 80. the available ip's we where told where 75-79. As far setup, can anyone see what we are doing wrong? when the term "usable ip's" is used, what does that mean? After all by going the dynamic rought the ip we are getting works fine. Instead of going dynamic, if we put in the settings manually into the router, reboot the router, the connect still works fine and now using one of those ip's. Somehow still though, we cannot create an outside connect.
Thanks!
