That is the difference between bridged mode and router/ppp mode and has nothing to do with the hardware brand. The Actiontecs support bridged mode as well, at which point it is up to your ISP to support/configure your account for bridge or router/ppp mode. With a bridge mode your actiontec/cisco/whatever acts basically like a 2 port hub (bridge) converting your ATM DSL WAN traffic into ethernet LAN traffic and thus does not have or at least does not need an IP address for normal operation and your static IP address was configured on your server.
