How do you set-up a static IP on a netopia 3347WG modem?
One of our customers has called bellsouth to aquire a static IP for their office. While I was working on another issue they were having I was going to go ahead and set-up their static IP for them. Well the only mention of static IP's in the modem's config appear to be for internal routing only, and altering with these settings effect nothing with the WAN IP. How would be the best way to set-up a static IP? BTW the modem is a Netopia 3347WG with firmware of 7.4.
Thanks in advance,
Clint

>2. Assigning the same public IP and netmask to the LAN interface (I know it sounds weird - try it before giving up).
This is definitely the trick to know when setting up netopias - most of the router manuals fail to mention this, although you can find it on the netopia site after lots of digging.

I just wanted to add that for Netopia 3347 7.x you need to skip step one from The--Captain with PPPoE service.
Good to know that the newer Netopia routers are finally that much closer to sanity (or are even now perhaps certifiably sane ;-) - my suggested configuration at #2 is not at all strange if #1 is not necessary...

Tried that on a 3447, and it won't let me save the config with the LAN and WAN set to same IP. Am I missing something???
Never mind. Cockpit error on this end. Method #2 works like a champ.
The Captain...
How would you configure this 3347 and Sonicwall TZ100 if you had ONE static IP address with DSL from AT&T?

Why would you want to do that? If you only have the one public IP address then that would go on the external interface of the external device and it would need to NAT to an internal private IP address on the external nic of the inside device.
I guess I have info overload. Ive read that you need to assign same public ip address to both lan and wan interface on the 3347. That sounds odd if doing pppoe. Pppoe dynamically assigns ip address when authenticated but its not the one static. I want the 3347 to be in bridge mode and sonicwall to do the pppoe.
