Hello,
I have 4 computers at my house. I have ordered broadband cable internet with 4 static ip's. I want to give each machine there own ip. The reason is because i want to be able to connect to them while at work and when im away.
Now i used to have a DLink 604+ router wich will only alow computers connected to it to have lan ip's (192.168.0.xxx) My question is what kind of router would i need to do whant i want. for example i get ip's 66.66.66.5, 66.66.66.6, 66.66.66.7 and 66.66.66.8 from my isp and i want computer #1 to have 66.66.66.5 computer #2 66.66.66.6 and so on.
Also what router would you recomend? i dont need something realy expensive made for use in datacenters, just something that will handle what i want.
Thanks in advance |

I guess I'm curious, is it costing you extra for the static IP's?

why dont you just do port forwarding from the router instead of using 4 different ip addresses? | |

Wheni do port forwarding it only opens that port for one computer. i need the same port open for multiple computers and i will probably be adding 1 or 2 more in the near future. | |

why not run each program on a different port and forward those ports to the computer than needs them. Alot easier than trying to connect 4 different addresses to one lan | |
