| Trouble connecting to modem with 3386-ENT
I'm having trouble connecting my 3386 to the DSL modem. I'm currently using a Linksys WRT54G and some of the terminology is different in the set up process. I have the gateway and DNS entries but in my Linksys set up i have an "Internet IP Address". I can't find where to enter this using the Netopia setup.
Any help would be great! |

clubs: | that would be your WAN address or WAN IP in the 3386. |

Palau, PW | Thanks, the WAN IP worked fine. Is there a way to set this router to have a specified list of static IP addresses as well as act as DHCP?
For instance run static IPs ranging 100-123 and DHCP for all others? |

| I have a 3346 so details may be slightly different but it is easy to do.
First step is to pick a LAN IP range. Say for instance a /24 with a starting address of 192.168.2.1. and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. That means computers on the LAN can have any address from 192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.254.
Then set up DHCP server to only use a portion of that range. Assign static IP addresses outside range used by DHCP but within range assigned to the LAN.
Rather then assign static IP address you can setup MAC reservation, Netopia calls it Static ARP. Clients are configured for DHCP. DHCP server is configured to assign same IP address to a given MAC. This provides benefit of static allocation (address does not change) with the convenience of DHCP.

Net2Nets, this is a bit confusing, the Netopia 3386 is a DSL router and I would not recommend hooking up 2 DSL router/modems. Plus you mention you have a (3rd?) Linksys router..
In your situation, I think I would recommend "Bridging" the Netopia (or other DSL router) and configure the Linksys to run the DSL PPP and your network (DHCP, wireless, etc) connection.
What is your other (2nd) DSL modem you mention?

| The Linksys WRT54G is what i am currently using the Netopia is a replacement for that router as it can handle a greater user request load than the Linksys. I will only have 1 router and it will be connected to a switch. I'm not sure what you were reading about a 3rd router.
Netopia is simply a replacement. |

So bottom line - is your 3346-ENT is running the PPPoE and te dsl router & connected PC(s) ONLINE? All is happy?
If you are trying to add wireless to your net, set the Linksys as listed above to "Obtain a (WAN) address automatically" and config your wireless accordingly...
