[plug] ADSL Connection

Ok, well.. we just have the one static IP for the ADSL, and the subnet they
told us to use was 255.255.255.252?

In the setup instructions it has 'Select "specify an IP address". Enter your
AIP IP Address (As noted in personal details) and your allocated Subnet mask
255.255.255.252.'

So what you're saying, is set eth2 to the IP address and gateway they gave
me, does the subnet above go in eth2? Then, eth0 as 192.168.100.1 for the
internal network, which uses 100.xxx, and then eth1 as 192.168.50.1, as the
DMZ is on this subnet as it is .50.2?

Is that the way I'll have to do it, as I only have 1 external IP to use?
Because it doesn't seem like they are routing me a subnet. I guess the DMZ
is going to work based on port forwarding, maybe? Is there an easier way to
do it with such a setup, or am I sniffing in the wrong direction?

Regards,
Daniel Pearson
