Hi,
Just taken delivery of my esat/bt broadmodem box of tricks & was reading
through the paperwork about setting it up.At the moment I have an old P11
running Smoothwall, a hub & 3 clients, dial on demand with a 65k modem in the
Smoothwall box. I'd like to continue to use this setup with the ADSL modem, but
I'm not sure about a few things with the ADSL modem, its a ZYLEX Prestige with
ethernet & usb. I guess its a better idea to connect it to the smoothwall box
using the ethernet port? also as I already use the smoothwall box to do nat, do
i set the ADSL modem to work in bridge mode?, & finally is it ok to continue to
use my fixed ip's & disable DHCP in the modem?
Any help would be much appreciated
Pat
