Is there any ADSL service provider that will offer and static IP addy?

Also, I have tried adding the PAT rules to be able to access the inside of my network to no avail.

I've added the MAC in the bridging parameters but still nothing works.

Any ideas?
 
This has been answered many times here. Use the search option to look it up.

Was it more difficult for you to say 'yes the company is XYZ' or 'No'. Or did you find it easier to type out and entire sentence with twice as many words?

It's abrupt people like you that make online comunities uncomfortable.
 
It depends how you look at it, doesn't it?
For me, answering the same question over and over again is uncomfortable. If you have a new or seldom asked question you will get helped.

My question to you, is it easier to type two words into a search facility than post a question with atleast 4 times as many words?

For the sake of peace, Juggy you need to use Dynamic DNS telkom reset the ip not the isp, and you cant Port Address Translate, unless you set your bridging options to foreward on your external interface, ie from outside (internet) to inside local ip range, make sure you dont have firewall software blocking the ports you want open on your local pc.

Thanks for the answer but I'm using the ADSL router pots with no luck on the bridging/PAT. I also use no-ip.org for dynamic updates of my DHCP address. This is the reason I asked about a static IP as spending another R1000 on a decent router just isn't feasible right now.

I followed someone on this forums howto for the bridging issue wut it still doesn't work and after trawling through the forums I still find no solution.

I suppose there is a chance that my router isn't working properly.
 
Exactly what happens when you try and connect to your router from an external source, you probably wont be able to test it from within your network, and if the router doesnt work dont rush off and buy stuff, take a look at other options first, Linux or free BSD on an old spare computer maybe.
 
For the sake of idiots (and by idiots I mean people who can't understand what search is)
Static IP is possible http://www.myadsl.co.za/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5498&SearchTerms=Static,IP

Don't waste bandwidth, ask questions the smart way the first time.

I've tried the Tambuti router project, IP Cop and smoothwall but if the router wont even pass packets through to ip's behind it then there is really no point.

I'm considering the LinkSys router with 54G et al instead of the Telskum cr@p.

@DFantom, I don't know why you find it so hard to nice to people. I think you should live up to your name and be a phantom. If you can't participate and play nicely with the other children then there really is no point to your input or whatever you call it.
 
Juggy, when you are old enough to ask a question properly, instead of whining when you don't get what you want when you are too lazy to do any work yourself, then you will get a decent input from me.
If you don't like that, I don't care. Now grow up and stop whining, I gave you the answer to shut you up and you still continued.

Juggy mail me and ill help you setup the firewall or router.
 
Linksys WAG54G support DDNS and has presets for DynDNS.org Easy but you have to subscribe to their services !
 
oops silly me [:D] basic services ( ie use one of their 43 domain names) FREE of charge. Upgraded services expect your Credit card to be 25 US$ lighter
