We are moving premises and changing from a fixed wireless broadband connection (ethernet) to a dsl connection. In the old premises we used a zyxel zywall 5 router/firewall. The fwa ethernet connection was connected directly to the wan side.
For our new dsl connection we have been supplied with a netopia 2247 adsl router. Everything works fine in router mode and I can access internet no prob. However, I would like to use bridge mode so that I can just use the netopia as a modem and continue to use our zywall as before. However I just cannot seem to get it to work.
I'm sure it's just that I'm misassigning the ip addresses between the netopia and the zywall.
The info (slightly changed to for security) is :
Our ip block = 87.48.161.74/29
Ip Gateway= 154.134.126.25
I tried assigning 87.48.161.75 to the Zywall wan i/f and , plugging this on the 'lan' side of my netopia 'bridge' , entereing all the ppoE log in info on the zywall but this does not work. Also, I'm not sure how I would get to use my other IP addresses.
Any guidance would be much appreciated
