| 1327592 | 2013-02-12 04:06:00 | Yeah that link is what you are trying to do, see if you can follow what they suggest and see if it works. One thing I remember from when I had a thomson router is I couldn't get networking between the wired and wirelss ports to work PC-PC but both worked to the internet ok. I didn't like the router though and replaced it so I don't have one to play with any more. | dugimodo (138) | ||

You can't do it with the Thompson, as the WAN interface is ADSL only and it will NOT do any routing for packets on it's LAN interface. You need an ethernet router, which you can either buy or build from an old PC with TWO ethernet interfaces. After that, you can use the Thompson to provide wireless access and extra ethernet ports.. |

Thats right Fred. After all, I guess then I can't get what I was after. I think I will just buy another Wifi router. Thanks everyone for all the inputs. Also, any suggestions as to what kind of router I should go for? Cheers. |

| 1327595 | 2013-02-12 08:18:00 | Don't have any recommendations as I made my own. But something like this www.globalpc.co.nz or this www.globalpc.co.nz would do the job. Just make it clear when you are buying that you DON'T want an ADSL modem/router, but an ETHERNET router. With or without wifi and any extra functions like print server etc. is up to you, but you need one with an ethernet WAN port. Probably not much call for them (for home use anyway) outside the TC cable area's and most sales droids will assume "modem/router" when you say "router". |

| 1327596 | 2013-02-12 08:23:00 | I was always under the assumption you had to get Telecom to assign a static IP for you. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||

| 1327598 | 2013-02-13 05:06:00 | Correct, if you've got a static IP through Telecom, they still assign it via DHCP, but it's just the same every time. You *must* use your Username and Password however. Telstraclear I believe also do likewise. This is the correct answer, although now, even on telecom business adsl, the static address is assigned via the phone number |
