Hi,

I have a business ADSL connection from Newnet, who have given us a pool
of 8 IP addresses. However, there is a problem...

The set-up we have at the moment consists of a bit of kit that connects
to the ADSL/phone line (I'm assuming it's an ADSL bridge, but I'm not
sure as Newnet supplied it) and several NAT routers. There are several
companies in a shared set of offices, and each of us connects via a NAT
router which is configured to use one of the external IPs.

           |
       [ADSL box]
           |
          /|\
         / | \
        N  N  N


Each 'N' represents a NAT router. The LAN segment of each NAT router is
connected to physically separate networks.

The problem we're having is that the ADSL box that was supplied by
Newnet is broken, and Newnet have said that they no longer supply any
kit. They did however recommend a BT Voyager 2110, which was
subsequently purchased. I cannot find any settings on the voyager that
seem like they might let me mimic the current set-up.

I'm fairly certain the Voyager will not do what we want, but my question
is two-fold:
Does anyone know if the Voyager 2110 will do what we want?
Does anyone know of another product that will allow us to do what we want?

Thanks,
Tom
