When I give the LOCAL unit an address on the LAN and turn on single-address NAT, it is no longer able to connect to the remote unit. I suspect it is because the LOCAL unit's "My Addr" does not match the REMOTE unit's "Rem Addr". When I set LOCAL's "My Addr" to match REMOTE's "Rem Addr", it is able to connect - but of course, then LOCAL no longer has an IP on the internal LAN, machines on that LAN cannot talk to LOCAL or use it as a gateway. Does anyone have any suggestions? 5.0Ai16 release notes indicate: When the Pipeline connects to a remote network, the MAX or other remote device must be configured to assign dynamic IP addresses through PPP negotiations (when the Pipeline uses a single IP address for NAT) or through DHCP (when the Pipeline requires multiple IP addressses when performing NAT for a LAN). I wasnt the first, having the REMOTE p75 assign a specific IP address when the LOCAL p75 dials in. I suspect I'm missing something simple. I was able to set up IPMasq on a Linux box with no trouble, but I would rather consolidate that function onto the router, as that's why I paid a premium for it...
