I am setting up EarthLink ADSL for small-business they got a new Modem/router Netopia 4652 on a MAC lan
I call ISP to find out what settings the modem/router was configure they tell me NAT is desable and
DHCP is not Turn on that I would have to e-mail them with the settings I will need.
Now this ADSL package came with 5 static IP addresses in the 66.149.42.xx if I use one of those ip addresses on my laptop connected directly to the modem I am able to connect to the web
they are about 20 computers connected to a switch on this LAN none of then have Internet connection at this time
now my question is those the ISP need to enable NAT and turn on DHCP ?
those connecting a router to the modem will cancel the need off NAT and DHCP on the ADSL modem?
At this time there is a Air port extreme router I can use
what should be the proper way to give internet acess to those computers
thank you for your assistance
