Just to clarify, I haven't ordered the static IPs yet. I will be doing so on Tuesday when they reopen for business. I'm actually not sure yet how this will even be configured physically since I haven't spoken to a rep.
I understand that the IP address I currently "have" is actually the address to my DSL modem. That in turn is hooked up to a Linksys Broadband Router wo thish I have a secured wireless and three desktop computers connected. I currently have only the one DSL modem and only one physical line wired up for it. I'm not sure how I will be able to physically run five IPs with a single DSL modem. I'll admit full ignorance to this though...I have never had much discussion with anyone else doing anything similar. So, when you are suggesting I set up a box "at one of my static addresses" I am not sure what process that will be physically. If you have any gueses I'd love to hear them, otherwise I probably need to wait a couple more days. I really do hope that it will "just work", although I don't mind getting a little creative if needed. -L On 1/1/06, Ken D'Ambrosio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Re: your problem below: I think you may be a bit mixed up.
