You can connect the Igaware Linux Small Business Server<\/a> to the Internet using a router of your choice, but if you choose a Billion 8800NL router you can expect connectivity to be robust.<\/p>\n

The Billion 8800NL combines an ADSL\/ADSL2+ modem, for conventional broadband services with a VDSL2 modem for FTTC fibre broadband services. It also incorporates target SNR margin adjustment for ADSL and ADSL2+ services.<\/p>\n

Target SNR margin adjustment with the 8800NL can significantly improve download speeds for many broadband users as it means they are no-longer dependent upon exchange Digital Line Management (DLM) systems, which can increase the target SNR margin to very high levels (substantially reducing download speed). Check out this SNR Tweak<\/a> article.<\/p>\n

Setting up the Billion 8800NL Router with the Igaware Linux Small Business Server<\/a> is straight forward:<\/p>\n

Switch the router on and connect it to a laptop via an ethernet cable. By default the router has DHCP enabled so you can access the router web admin page by opening a web browser and going to the default IP of the router 192.168.1.254<\/p>\n

Login to the web admin page using the default user name and password supplied with the router.<\/p>\n

From the menu select ‘Quick Start<\/strong>‘ and enter your ADSL username and password, then select continue.<\/p>\n

From the menu select Configuration=>WAN<\/strong> and select Service pppoa_0_0_38<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Billion<\/a>
\nEnable NAT and disable Firewall.<\/p>\n

Now go to NAT => DMZ Host<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Billion<\/a>
\nSet DMZ HOST IP Address to the WAN IP of the Igaware Server e.g 10.10.10.2.<\/p>\n

Now select LAN.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"bill-lan\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Set IP Address<\/strong> e.g. 10.10.10.1 and Subnet Mask<\/strong> e.g. 255.255.255.0<\/p>\n

To prevent Internet access from the WAN side of the Igaware Firewall, it’s advisable to disable the wireless interface on the router.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
