We just had a new install at our office of U-verse DSL. Before we had the vanilla ATT DSl with static IPs.
I would like to set the network up as before. Use a static IP on our router and use our router as the DHCP server. We have another device - a surveillance system that requries a static IP. The way I had it set up was from the modem that attached to a switch to provide a static IP to the surveillance system and then a connection to the switch for the router.
I was told after much hassle today, that u-verse cannot be connected that way. they can pass the static IPs through the modem, but they cannot turn off their DHCP so we are having conflicts are our network. I know I have done this before at two other installations with U-verse but that was with a different modem. The modem ATT u-verse supplied us was a NVG510.
Can anyone provide some assistance with this? I conntacted Tier 2 support and they said that DHCP server on the modem could not be turned off.
Thanks in advance.
