Does Thomson TG585 v7 support No-Nat and Static IPs?
If you want the router for free you have to be contracted for 12 months. You only pay for delivery costs.
on another note, i think i know what i need to get my Static IPs going but the multiple gateway thing from that guide is abit over my head atm..
I'll ring support later and see what they can do, since i was told over the phone i could use my IP block with this router. im sure they know what they are doing.
unless some one on here has already config they router for Static IPs (not static Lan IPs) for they router, that would be great.

Can we just get clear what you are trying to do here...
You have a block of 8 ? Public IP's allocated by PlusNet ?
You have allocated these IP's to your PC's as static IP's and need to configure the TG585 to handle this .
Is that correct so far ?
If that is the situation then I would suggest you need to confiure the router as Section 2 of the guide I linked to above, 'Static Subnet with Numbered WAN link'. This allocates 1 of your IP's to the router and the rest can be used by PC's on your network. You're going to have to use the CLI interface to the router to set it up for this configuration. I'd be doubtful that the normal CSC people are familiar with setting up the router in this way. There may be someone, either in Plusnet or on this forum, who has setup the router this way but TBH I doubt it. Most people who have a block of static IP's would, I suspect, have their own preferred router, as I do.
I suspect you need to get familiar with the TG585 CLI manual if you're going to persevere with setting it up this way but please feel free to post back and I'll try and help where possible.

There's a few reasons, apart from "I want to play with it" which is still a valid reason in my book
Quote from: ReedRichards Why would anybody want to have each PC on a "home network" assigned to a static, public IP address?
However NAT is a huge fudge implemented to reduce pressure on the IPv4 address space particularly in pre-CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) days. As such it doesn't play very well with more complex protocols such as used in VOIP, VPN and many games, which then have to have additional functionality added to work around NAT's restrictions. So it can be much easier if using such products to remove NAT from the equation altogether.There's also the minor point that IPv6 doesn't currently support NAT at all as it doesn't have any limitations on IP addressing space, so as/if it starts getting into wider use we may need to start thinking about living without NAT (at least in it's current form).
