THEN I HAVE LAN BLOCK
USABLE IP BLOCK X.X.X.X./27
USABBLE RANGE X.X.X.X-X.X.X.X.
USABLE SUBMET MASK X.X.X.224

Why do you have a LAN block? What is its purpose?

But why? Is there a purpose to it? You could just not use it.

[mroth911]

IDK!

Then ignore it and set up as usual. you only want that if you REALLY know why, otherwise, ignore it.

Ok, I just reread some of your posts here. Let me make you a screenshot.

Basic Wizard

I always expand the secondary LAN, give it a non-default IP, a /24, and disable the DHCP on it. No reason to use resources.

You can just ignore the LAN block from Comcast.

so if i configure any ethernet port on a computer connected to the network i will be about to use the public ip ?

This. If you did not ask for your own public IP block, then ignore it. Though it does likely mean you are overpaying for your internet service.

No, that is not how that works and is not something I care to try and explain.

You can do that, but you probably don't want that. That's going to be really limiting and really not add any benefit if those machines are not servers. If this was for a DMZ, it would be different.

I have 29 static ip address. that i have public facing servers.

You are trying to use Comcast to host publicly facing servers?

[mroth911]

yes

yes

Oh, so this changes eveything.

[scottalanmiller]

Okay, so is this ALSO your office, or is this ONLY hosting servers?

[mroth911]

Both....
