RE: OT: Eclipse Internet ADSL Multiple IPS

["Ian Lowe" <ian.lowe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ahh righty - I use a vigor 2600, so it's incredibly easy to setup the
second IP... But it also doesn't work that well :

It kinda varies with the hardware/sofwtare you use - most of the SOHO
adsl routers have a version of multi-nat that allows multiple IP
addresses with various levels of compatibility and reliability, but all
the ones I have seen are a little ropey in setup terms - I guess once
you step outside of 1 IP, DHCP you are far enough out of the
"normal"
range of users that you are kinda on your own...

Whilst I'd normally say the vigors are great, for this situation, they
really are not that good - by which I mean, they can be configured quite
happily to forward ports inbound to one IP or the other, however,
outbound packets randomly end up on either one. And I do mean random -
it's infuriating to troubleshoot.

I don't know if other adsl routers are better in this regards - I would
certainly hope so!

Ian.

Ian,

Thanks for the reply.  I'd done that bit already, it was the hardware
setup part that's phasing me :-(

Cheers

Yep - nice and easy, you log into the customer control panel at
http://www.eclipse.net.uk/

Go to Admin Panel > Connection Manager > IP Address(es)[Change]

and change it there. You can get 2 fixed useable IPs without any hoop
jumping, just by picking the option - any more than that, you need to
actually justify it!

Ian.

Hi,

I know there are a few people on here using Eclipse Internet.  Has
anyone setup multiple fixed IP's??  How do you do this?

I'm looking to buy a new modem so any recommendations welcomed but will
probably go with a linksys ADSL2MUE and have one fixed IP going to an
VOIP Hardphone and the second to a router that will nat to the rest of
the LAN.

Any help appreciated!!

Stuart
