Uncapped HELP

[simonbct]

Hi,

I recentley signed up to an uncapped service from RSA Web, needless to say we are not setup yet, after them telling us it was ready.

My setup is an internet cafe.
I have 13 PC's with static IP's the default gateway is the router.
We use DHCP for laptop connections.

RSA Web gave us their router saying just plug it in.
Firstly their router is locked they wouldn't give me the password to get in.
Secondly no DHCP enabled.

They weren't interested in my issues, even though I had paid R4 700 already.

So i phoned them to come and pick it up and configure it properly like i asked.
They said they would enable DHCP, and make it the same ip address as my current router so i would not have to change my settings on all the pc's

So again after i close the shop, plugged it in, no dhcp on my laptop, connecting directly, no change of ip address on router, and no help after 5 and on weekends.

So what i need is advice on an uncapped option with the requirements above. RSA Web are charging us R3000 including VAT.

I will pay more if need be, just want what i asked for, and better support

Please can anybody help?

If it is a Cisco / Billion router from IS.

You will need to setup a PC / Firewall that will do nat and dhcp for you.

PM me for more informantion

Ok, I will help with DHCP on IOS.
int e0
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
no shut
ip dhcp poolname
network 192.168.1.0/24
domain-name simonbct.com
default-router 192.168.1.1
lease 7
exit

ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.4 etc will exclude these IP's from DHCP pool


This is a basic setup on the ethernet 0 interface on your cisco router, I don't advise trying this yourself though because I chose e0 and 192.168.1.1 myself, don't know how your router is configured.
If you really wanna get this cracking, show me the output from typing "show config", ofcourse you don't have the enable password. Why they cannot just do the job they said they would, I don't know.

Ok, so here's my solution, i hope it will work.

Can i use my existing marconi router (192.168.0.15) as my NAT and DHCP server.

I want to point my router to the default gateway which is the billion router.

What will need to be changed.
Does the marconi router have to be in bridge mode.

I don't have any server on my network that can assign dhcp

Thanks for the answers so far.

Not sure that'll work, its an ADSL router isn't it? You probably need something like a Linksys WRT54G

Why do uncapped IS users HAVE to use the router IS punts off on the consumer? I wouldn't get much sleep knowing someone other than me has access to a device on my network. Complete remote access is as good as physical access which is as good as root access.

Thats why I recommend people put in a firewall. IS force us to use their routers, it has to do with the VPN and ATM connection

ok, so heres what i tried

i took out the ppp connection on the marconi router.
told the marconi route the default gateway was the billion router.
but didn't work, am i still missing something.

will phone rsa web on monday, hopefully they will be able to fix this for me.
