SG105 and Telstra NBN FTTP Connection

Dread

Hi Guys,

Remotely trying to get a clients new Telstra Business NBN connection working through the Sophos SG105 they have had for 12 months on their ADSL2 connection. The main issue here is the supplied Static IP. 

If I change the Interface to Ethernet and leave Dynamic ticked - the connection works fine, except its giving me an IP from their dynamic pool obviously.

If I untick it and enter in the supplied (and verified correct) Static IP and subnet mask - it kills the connection on a reboot and will not reconnect.

Anyone hooked up a Telstra Business NBN FTTP connection with a Static IP to a SG Firewall successfully???

Any tips would be appreciated!!  ;)

    Cheers for the responses so far guys!

    I'm pretty sure this is a screwup on Telstra's end.

    The first dynamic IP network range was 124.xxx.xxx.xxx which Telstra Support 'couldn't find'

    I hooked up the supplied Telstra Gateway and got a 101.177.xxx.xxx address - still NOT my actual static IP. Had a hunch it may be MAC related so I wrote down the MAC address of the Telstra Router (which doesn't have the ability to be put into Bridged mode despite their Tech Support saying it could).

    Plugged the Sg105 back in (DYnamic IP in the 124.xxx.xxx.xxx range again!) and set the virtual MAC on Eth1 to the same Mac as the Telstra Router and Boom! 101.177.xxx.xxx IP address and connection running.

    So, still no Static IP but it seems to be connected to the Telstra Dynamic Range at least. They still don't know where the 124.xxx.xxx.xxx IP came from (and was working!!).

    I tried adding the 110.143.190.86 IP as an additional IP (I still think the supplied 255.255.255.0 netmask is woefully incorrect) and set the Incoming Mail Nat/Rule to point to it but no luck :(

    Still on-hold with Telstra ... been on the phone with them for 3 hours so far, really great way to start a Monday Morning! One bunch of clowns was trying to tell me that there is no NBN connection here and they would send a tech out to install it ... for a fee!!!

    It may be counter intuitive, but WebAdmin creates better code when you use a /32 for Additional Addresses.
