anon posted : I wonder why this gateway seems so restricted. Dealing with the 1024 NAT limit sucked when I tried to host a LAN party (really we were all playing online though ... WAN party?) with 12 PCs. If 3 or 4 of us would refresh a server list at once, it'd bug out.

I came from TW where I had a dedicated modem and a separate router. It appears for new service the 50/5 and 30/5 they give you an all in one unit but it supports bridging (is the rumor).

If you get IPDSLAM service, you'll get a NVG510 Router, which can be configured in IP Passthru mode. If you get VDSL Service, you'll end up with a 2wire / Pace 3600 or 3801 (depending on what services you have and what area you are in). The 2wire units don't do a normal "bridge" or "passthru"; you have to configure DMZ Plus for each static IP... if you have multiple static IPs, you must map them to a unique network interface on your firewall router (1 IP per MAC address) --- this is the key difference and aggravation with the 2 wire firmware; with every other ISP CPE I've dealt with, it's not a problem to assign multiple public IPs to a single ethernet interface, the 2 Wire is the exception.

Yep. I have not seen a way to issue multiple IP's to the same device on my 2wire 3801. In order to utilize all of my IP addresses I had to include a hub between the router and part of my network.

anon posted : you can put NVG510 or 2WIRE3600 - 3800- 3801 In Bridge mode if you now how to do it, because a uverse prem tech wont be able to do that because 1) is not train for it 2) ATT wont take liability for your network 3) If the sales person tell att will do that (that is not true)

It depends on which "flavor" of Uverse is in your area and which modem you get. I'm on IPDSLAM with the Moto NVG510 and in addition to offering the "old" DSL style of public IP assignment, it also offers a "routed" mode where the entire block is handed off to your router so it can do as it pleases with the entire /29.

Guess it might have helped if I had included my U-verse modem's model number. Its a 2wire 3801hgv. I think you're right that it depends on your area as to what equipment they use and equipment you will receive.

Lagz posted : I have U-verse with a static IP package and I configure my routers and switches with public IP addresses. Then go to this page
[att=1] on the U-verse modem and disable the firewall for those addresses. It essentially acts as a network bridge and passes all traffic from the U-verse modem/router to your own devices.

I have DSL with static IP operating in bridge mode, so routers behind the modem are configured with the public IPs and port forwarding is working correctly.

I'm being told that uverse now offers this functionality - it didn't several months ago. Can anyone confirm before I cancel the DSL acct?

Thanks in advance - Joe

Sounds like a little confusion based on "capabilty" vs modem modes.

U-verse currently does not support a modem in bridge mode, however U-verse supports a DMZplus capability for automatic WAN IP assignment to a local PC or secondary router. This is not something new.

Again not a direct replacement for a modem in bridge mode but supports passing the public to one device behind the modem.
