Configure a Static IP Block on a Netgear 7550I have a business DSL account with a Static IP Block. I'm looking to configure the modem to allow a computer behind the modem to have one of these Static IPs. I can only access the internet when the modem is using DHCP on the WAN and a Dynamic IP.
I have no phone communication where the modem is located, so this is my best route for getting this resolved.
Thank you! |

You'll need to fill in the public ip info on the modems connection configuration page, home network configuration section |

My Config has more check boxes |
One of the IPs in my IP Block is pingable and has port 8080 open. I believe there is an issue on the backend of the system. |

David asked if you were able to help me. You have, however I believe the problem is on the telco side of things, not the modem. |

said by Landmine: I can only access the internet when the modem is using DHCP on the WAN and a Dynamic IP. The modem cannot be configured to use dhcp on the wan. In your region a dynamic ip is allocated to the modem and the dynamic IP address maps to the block of public ip's Since david is helping you you don't need me? |

What software version is your 7550 using? |
|
|
Whoever can help me first! Thank you for your time.
Gateway DSL Firmware Version 4.4.9.12.1.1
I'm in California with my DSL if that changes anything. |

Are you able to use any of the public ip's? Is the modem working the way you want it to? |
|
|
I cannot use any of the ip's given to me in my ip block. The modem appears to be working correctly as long as I dont try to force it to use a static ip. |

I wanted to know the software version not the firmware version 10 Gateway Software Version VER:06.04.12 |
|
|
Gateway Software Version VER:06.04.20 |

What are you doing to force the modem to use static ip's? |
|
|
Using the gateway IP as the Public LAN IP. Subnet 255.255.255.248. DCHP Start and End were the IP Block Range. |

I still dont understand how one of my IP's from my IP Block can have an open port 8080 without a device hooked up to it. |

|

It is one of the IPs in the range of IPs they provided me. I've confirmed with AT&T tech support twice over the phone. |

I have a similar setup here, but a different modem/router -- a Motorola 3347. It has detailed instructions for the setup, but I find that simply using the "gateway" address they provided, and ignoring the five static IPs for which I'm paying, has worked satisfactorily for the past year and a half. My main need is for a static IP that never changes, and the "sticky" gateway address takes care of that. If your need for the separate IPs is great enough, you might look into buying a 3347 from AT&T and configuring it instead. The manual is pretty clear on how to do this. |

The block I was provided was 65-69 with 70 as the gateway IP. |

AT&T came and installed the DSL, did not leave a modem, I had to go to an AT&T store to purchase their business modem the 7550. This is the main reason why on most of my buildings we are switching to Comcast. |

If you configure the modem's dhcp server to temporary allocate public ip's and use the tcp/ip info for a static setup |
|
|
That is what I have done. It assigned the IP's correctly, but traffic does not route. |

Have you done a IP address lookup on the block? |
|
|
A tracert? What do you mean lookup? |
