Read this first:

when yu get your Static IP addresses they will be in the form of a single IP address with a given subnet mask. the single IP address you get is the routing IP meaning that any traffic coming to any of your ip addresses has to be routed through this one. we take and example:

Example: lets say you are getting 5 usable IP addresses from Eclipse, you will get this in the form of a single ip address with a subnet mask (255.255.255.248), this means that you have been allocated a block of 8 IP addresses. let say yu get the the first ip as (192.192.192.123) with subnemask (255.255.255.248), this means you will have the following block of IP addresses:

SO, the routers IP address will be the one given to you by your ISP (in this example its 192.192.192.123), and the 5 usable IP addresses following that is for hosts (computers), these are the once in blue on the table above. the table also indicates the first and last ip address to use when modifying the ini file.

Step 1: Modifying the Profile File

first of all download the file and make the nessesary changes according to the IP range you've been given. instructions are below, once done go to step 2.

the first change you need to make is under [ PPP.ini ] Group shown below. Replace the stars (***) with your Username and Password given to you by the ISP. Then under -- poolstart= (put the first IP address assigned to you by the isp) and under poolend=(the last ip address in your subnet). (see table above). Notice we are using the "unnumbered" option here, this means the WAN side will not be assigned any ip addresses.

Next yu need to modify the [ IP.ini ] Group, replace the (XXX) with THE FIRST ip address of your subnet (see table), then replace all the (xxx) with the 2nd then 3rd then 4th and 5th IP addresses (see table again). Notice that the router will be assigned the first IP address (ie the ethernet interface). also the gateway will take the same ip.

Ok once done, save it and carry on to step 2.

Step 2: Uploading the the router:

1st: Reset the router by pressing the the little botton at the back of the 510. and wait for it to restart (the power and line synk lights should be green).

2nd: open Network Connections in Windows, double click TCP/IP and change your ip address there to 10.0.0.1 (temporarly), hit enter and yu should be assigned a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. click ok and close network connections.

3rd: open Internet explorer and enter the address 10.0.0.138 in the address bar and hit enter, this should take you to the speed touch 510 web interface. at the interface click on Update then under Configueration click on Browse. browse and choose the profile file that yu have just modified in Step 1.

4th click on Upload and then click Restart. Now wait for it to restart, you will get an error in accessing the web interface, now yu cant access the web interface cos the ip address table for the router has been modified. DONT WORRY!!! :)

Finally open Network Connections in Windows again and enter the information below under TCP/IP:

IP address: enter one of the ip addresses given to you but NOT the first IP.(in our example would be 192.192.192.124 onward)

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.248

Gateway: enter the first ip address given that yu have assigned to the router's ethernet interface. ( in the example this would be 192.192.192.123)

Primary DNS: enter the dns server address for your isp, in case yu use eclipse the primary dns will be 212.104.130.9.

close network connections and go to internet explorer and type the first ip address of your subnet (the new router address ) this should allow yu to access the web interface (did i mention yu have to add a password :):):)!!!!!!!!!). dont forget.do nooootttt forrrrrrgetttt. password. :):):)

all working now ... all pings tracerts from inside and outside should be working :)
