Classical Routing - Assistance needed
I am trying to get routing mode (Note: not NAT mode) working through my Netgear Firewall. It's an FVS336G v2. I have the following CIDR Block and IP Address from my ISP - COX. My block is as follo...
Classical routing & NAT should be considered as an "either/or" situation, meaning that you can't do both with the one device at the same time.
Classic routing is used in a situation where you have been provided with an adequate number of public ip addresses that you can assign one to each computer, allowing each one to be accessible at it's own address - NAT is used when you have only one public ip address and need to share it amongst multiple systems.
NAT can also be used when you have a limited number of public addresses and only need some of the computers to be accessible.
If Cox is saying that the routed CIDR block isn't actually routed yet, that may be the cause of your problem.
