static routing with a linksys router and adtrans T1 modem

by spookydodger . Updated 17 years, 7 months ago

Ok, the setup:

a network of computers on a network, with addresses in the 10.39.47.xxx range. All the computers had a gateway configured of 10.39.47.254

A T1 broadband modem (Adtrans) that has an address of 63.110.232.97

This used to work on a linksys wrt54g router, but had its settings wiped. No one knows who originally did it.

The network has to stay on its IP range due to a server I can’t change the address of.

The modem can’t be changed to a different IP.

I can get internet on a computer if I put it in the same subnet as the modem. IE 63.110.232.100, for example if the router is 63.110.232.98

I am fairly sure it has something to do with static routing in the advanced routing tab of the router’s controls. However, I am unable to get to the internet from any of the 10.x computers.

Am I supposed to map 10.39.47.254 (gateway on the computers) to 63.110.232.97 (the network gateway to the internet)?

I’ve searched / talked with tech support for both my ISP, Linksys, and even the provider of the software that requires the computers to be on their 10.x network addressing. Everyone says talk to one of the others. Very frustrating!

I’ve searched for information on static routing and bridging networks, but have as yet not found a configuration that works the way it once did.

I can only hope that someone can shed some light.
