Eclipse describe it as "2 usable" but from what I've read, three get used up, leaving only one usable. So, how does a 4 IP Block differ from a single static IP?

In the setup below, could each PC get a WAN IP address?

Open your subnet up to enable you to make use of the network/broadcast address.

For example with a /29 range, I can set the subnet on the router to /24 instead. That way I can use all 8 addresses. The only drawback being you can't communicate with the other hosts on the internet in the same range.

Mind posting your setup and hardware? I'm getting nowhere here. :o
 

My block is :
IP Address(es) 91.xxx.xxx.25 > 91.xxx.xxx.26 2 fixed usable addresses ( /30 )
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.252
Gateway 82.xxx.xxx.xx ( sometimes 212.xxx.xx.xx )

When I tracert a public IP, the first hop is 192.168.2.1 ( modem local ip ) so it seems as if the half bridge implementation is not as transparent as it can be. Which modem/router do you have?
