Hi all,

I've recently had another 3 IP addresses added to my broadband
connection bringing the total to 4 usable IP addresses for my
connection. This is mainly used to provide HTTP on one server and HTTPS
+SPOP3 on another. However, I have a Netgear DG834 as the ADSL modem/
router on my network, and it does not seem to provide an option for
setting the netmask of the external IP address. As a result, I can
only use traffic on one IP address at the moment.

Does anyone know a way of setting the configuration on the router so I
can change the netmask? I's presuming it may be possible to login via
busybox and change the netmask there, but restarting the router
obviously wipes any comfiguration done of the router while the kernel
is loaded in its RAM, so I'm looking for a more permanent solution.

Regards,
Ronald.

Agreed, the WAN IP will pick up its address via DHCP and your ISP will route
traffic for your static IP addresses down the same wire.

My experience with this router is that you can switch off NAT but not the
firewall. And the firewall can only be set to DMZ all traffic to a single
IP address.

What I would advise is a D-Link DSL-524T. You can switch off NAT and the
firewall. Then on the LAN side of this router set it up with the little
subnet you have been assigned and plug in one or more heftier routers which
will then handle firewalling and NAT for a LAN. You could also plug your
web server with an external IP address into the LAN side of the D-Link.

The latest firmware (V4.01.20 ) for the Netgear DG834G Version 3 added
an option to disable both NAT and Firewall.

There might be on a DG834 V1 & V2, I wouldn't know.

I don't recall there being an option to disable the firewall on my DG834G
version 3 model with the factory supplied firmware, of course I may well
be mistaken,

But:-

http://kbserver.netgear.com/release_notes/d103043.asp

"5. Added a checkbox to disable the firewall with Network Address
Translation (NAT) disabled. If the firewall is disabled with NAT disabled
the protections normally provided to your network will be disabled."



And the disable firewall option is not shown on the graphic in the older manual:-
