Hi chrisgiltnane
I'm not sure about the auto-ip setting, I'll ask Technicolor and let you know what they say.
My understanding of the difference between the DMZ/public IP address is that the DMZ will place your computer outside the firewall and assigning the public IP address to a device will keep it protected by the firewall.
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for that, its kind of what i suspected but wasn't sure and didn't just want to put the NAS box out into the wild unprotected. It does have its own firewall but even so was not happy to put it in a DMZ. The other issue is really a nice to know, I am working fine just wondered what was going to happen if I clicked it on and applied.

Second reply for today!
Enabling this box will give the device a 169 address (as defined in RFC 5735 and 3927) so that a device which cannot use DHCP can communicate with the router.
I hope you won't need this, it's a very obscure feature!
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for that I will leave that alone. Wonder they left it in the GUI at all, must be a very edge use case.
