Yes, this is what I said days ago :-)
Ah, yes, your "morning tea" idea of 7-Jul; I had forgotten about that as well. That ought to make the configuration simpler, but would require Marc to acquire more public IP addresses from his ISP, and would probably therefore also require getting a commercial subscriber license, at a correspondingly higher commercial rate.
Why would he need more addresses? He already has five. I suppose he already has a modem or router or something. Well, he just has to connect all 5 computers to that modem or router directly. If the router has only 4 eth mouths, he needs a switch. If it is a modem, then also a switch. Why translate the external IPs to internal IPs and all that complication? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
