Hi DaneA,
Yes, indeed, that has been the case, de-activating NAT by switching to classical routing.

Hi Sil68,
In Classical Routing, you will need to use static Public IP Addresses for each device in your LAN such as PCs.
It is sad to know that your ISP is not that cooperative about their client's concerns.
