Spoke to someone finally today - they will get back to me. My public address is showing as 41.x.y.z and the router is showing WAN 10.x.y.z and they had allocated 105.x.y.z/29 as my public static ip. I am not skilled past basic networking, so there is a lot lacking on my part. Does it look like there is some other NAT/tunnelling happening along the way? Or that the allocation has not really been done properly yet?
I see that I can ping the gateway and it replies with the gateway IP (.101). I ping the allocated IP (.102) and it replies from the public IP. The Public/Network IP does not respond.
As a side note they allocate /29 - subnet mask 255.255.255.248 so that allocates 8 IPs, one of which is broadcast and another the network IP. So if it is 105.x.y.100, the gateway will be 105.x.y.101, 102-106 is allocated for use, and 105.x.y.107 will be the broadcast.
