![]() I'm looking to get fixed IPs for all 4 of my home pcs (2x PC, laptop and PS2), and know that Eclipse usually provide blocks of 8 IPs? free of charge. My question is, is my Conexant Based router compatible with this sort of setup, would it forward all ports to each pc? Also how would I go about setting up this sort of config, I know the router has to have its own external IP along with the other PCs, and that not all 8 IPs are available for use, however this is as far as my knowledge on this stretches. Thanks for any help |

So I basically have to turn off NAT, but then when it says 'At this point you should be able to set your PC to a 'real' IP and both connect to the router on it's internet address and access the internet.', do I just manually set the pc(s) with one of the external IPs in network settings or what? |

Ignore the other post, I just read through again and understood...I think. All I have to do is turn off NAT, set the specified IP/Subnet the ISP gave me as the routers actual IP, then manually set all the pcs up with the other IPs? If I've gone way out or missed something here, please tell me! |

If I've gone way out or missed something here, please tell me! Think you have it now Philip. Set up the router with it's 'real' IP, but leave NAT on - you should be able to connect (your computer should be set for DHCP). Once that's working, turn of NAT and set your LAN to assign the block of (useable) IP's from Eclipse; each machine that you connect should be set to use DHCP, or you can manually configure each machine to have one of the (again useable) IP's.

So on the Routers range of IPs to assign via DHCP I should change the internal "10.0.07-10.0.0.15" to the range given to me by Eclipse....would they necessary be a block of consecutive IPs though? Also will the fact that my NICs in the PCs don't have internal IPs affect file and print sharing....I guess it will so I would need another NIC in each PC? |

No Philip, your network becomes each of the useable IP addresses - each of your machines can connect to each other using the real IP address assigned to it (either by you or DHCP)... you do not need a 2nd NIC or to run internal IP's. I would expect the block given to you to be consecutive; you should have 8 IP addresses. The first one is your network address, and therefore not assignable. The second last is your router address, and therefore only useable by your router. The last is the broadcast address, and therefore not assignable. Your subnet mask will be 255.255.255.248 Your useable IP addresses will be the 5 between the first and second last; set your router to assign those 5 out, or manually assign one to each of your machines (with the gateway set as your router address). Doing it the second way allows you to manually edit your hosts file to do a name resolution for however you set it. e.g. xxx.xxx.xxx.1 network address - not assigned xxx.xxx.xxx.2 pc_1 pc_1.your_network xxx.xxx.xxx.3 pc_2 pc_2.your_network xxx.xxx.xxx.4 pc_3 pc_3.your_network xxx.xxx.xxx.5 pc_4 pc_4.your_network xxx.xxx.xxx.6 pc_5 pc_5.your_network xxx.xxx.xxx.7 router router.your_network xxx.xxx.xxx.8 broadcast address - not assigned HTH, John PS: That's how Zen - who I use - have their IP blocks set up; I am assuming Eclipse are the same. --- Outgoing mail should be virus free...
