| Nov 10, 2010 at 21:48 | comment | added | MaQleod | if it starts with 86, then you can't change it. A NAT address will start with 192.168, what you have is a public IP that your ISP controls. If that is the case, you need to look at my answer. | |
| Nov 10, 2010 at 21:23 | comment | added | Jakub Narębski | I would have to configure ADSL because it uses different IP subnet (192.168.1.*) than cable modem (86.sth.*.*, if I remember it correctly). | |
| Nov 10, 2010 at 20:53 | comment | added | Xantec | one drawback to this method is that you will not be able to take advantage of any of the security features that plugging into the WAN/Internet port of a stand alone router would provide | |

There is no other way, it just happens that they are connected internally on all these "home" devices, and even on enterprise ones. There is no such thing as a router with multiple LAN ports, they must be switched or set on a VLAN. | |
