[clue] CenturyLink DSL Service - Need Assistance w/ Public Address Space (NW Configuration)

[Charles Burton]

As far as I can tell century doesn't have to change anything.  Also, unless
you specifically bought a static wan ip they're assigned dynamically when
you authenticate with the distant end. You just have to have your username
and password that century link gives you to use with pppoe.  Another point
I would like to mention that while I like running it over my own router
don't expect support to understand if something goes wrong. It's really
difficult to get them to understand that the reason they can't get into the
modem is because it's a dumb bridge handling just the encapsulation.
