billion 7700n 5 public ip's setup

[djbridger]

Hope someone can help as its a sunday and support is not open until monday, i have a range of 8 public ip's from my provider and would like to setup a webserver on its own public ip address, normally would use a netgear to do this but have annex m so bought the solid performing billion 7700n. Can i route the 5 public ip addresses, some documentation seems to say turn off nat on the wan but it does not make sense to me. Help would be appreciated, using a adsl2 line
Thanks

HI

Yes you need to turn off NAT, but on the 7700N this is not supported, and you will not be able to give your server a public IP.

The 7800 series , 7402 series will be able to do this.

If needed you may have to return your 7700N.

Ok here was way around it to enable public Ip's from my service provider Entanet.
The router gets it's default IP from Entanet, i then went to advanced on the menu - then Lan
at the bottom of page is an option box Configure the second IP Address and Subnet Mask for LAN interface
tick it to enable
i then put the next public ip assigned from the usable block of six ip's in there
then on my server i used the next ip in the range and selected the ip that is in the secondary lan option as its gateway.
so
router wan (gets default ip from enatnet eg 000.000.000.001)
Configure the second IP Address and Subnet Mask for LAN interface eg (000.000.000.002)
server ip eg 000.000.000.003 subnet 255.255.255.248 gateway 000.000.000.002
This also means that the main ip can still have dmz with another server, theoretically giving you 5 ip's usuable
possibly could run dmz on secondary lan to havent tried nor probaly wont - hate dmz
Hope that helps someone
