Hi. We have a Westell B-90 210014 supplied by our ISP, CenturyTel, and we bought a pack of 5 static IP's. From inside the building, on our side of the Westell, we can access devices assigned to these ip's just fine. From outside, we can't get through on any of them. I have the firewall disabled inside the Westell.

We have tried support from Westell and CenturyTel, and they both play the ping-pong blame game. Please help, we have had this issue for a few weeks and are at this point dead in the water. Thanks.

Have you been able to ping one of those IP addresses from the public Network, with just that system attached directly to the modem?

Have you been able to ping valid Internet IP addresses from that same system and get a response.

Does WinIPCfg on that system pickup the DNS IP addresses from you ISP?

Does the link require a login to work, for each IP address?

If not, its an ISP problem. But if a single system works, then the problem might be with the Switch to modem connection (or if a router, its DHCP must be disabled).

Well I can't find any resources for that particular model: 210014

Typical DSL router/modems from ISP are cutdown versions of real routers and I'm not sure any support multiple WAN IPs.

What model is the Westell? B90 is version. Does your router have a web interface to configure it. The B90-210015 is a bridge modem meaning it only converts from DSL to ethernet, so its likely your westell is similar

In order to route to your LAN, a router must be configured with an IP. So you'll lose one of your static IPs for routing.

To route you will need a full fledged router. Not a Linksys, D-Link or anything else found at a retail store, think Cisco, etc.

With you current setup set up 1 computer. Since the westell is probably bridged already -if not configure IP Passthrough, assign your PC an IP, ISP DNS, and PPPoE and connect. You should have no problems.
