Problem with NAT and DHCP...in my router
Unfortunately, I have a question about a modem/router that none of you has ever used before. I know this because I have a friend at my ISP that got me the new. It was like pulling teeth to get a prototype, but let me tell you, it's bad-a*s so far.

The problem is this: I believe you absolutely have to enable it's internal DHCP function to get its NAT to work. Which poses a problem for me. I already have a DHCP server, and I need to keep using it. Also, I need to use its NAT function.
So is there a way that I can enable its internal DHCP server, but keep it from giving IPs to any of my clients ?? And please don't say "Assign the clients static", cause that is NOT an option. So far, all I have done is enabled the internal DHCP on the router, and given it a range that only assigns one address: 192.168.0.1 ...But that still doesn't keep a client from grabbing that IP, sooner or later...Or will my 2k Server DHCP take priority ??
Any suggestions??

Update:
I got the site to work, but only if I enabled DHCP on the router, and let it assign only 1 IP address. Hopefully none of the client machines will grab that one IP. 8)
But anyway, you fellow DSL guys might want to check out the USR8550 ...Because so far it's outperformed a Linksys router that I purchased. If you have any questions about it, feel free to email me.
