    Anyone set this up before, I have a block of 4 ips (only middle two usable) I cant for love nor money get more than one of the public IPs routed to machines on my LAN.

    Router manufacturer says to contact ISP, ISP says "just assign the ips to the nics and it will work" :rolleyes:

    I know i'm missing some really stupid basic setting somewhere, but i cant seem to find a simple step by step guide to setting this up anywhere.

    many free pints for the man(or woman) who can sort this out.

    All you need to is:
    Assign the 1st useable address to the router's ethernet interface aswell as the WAN interface (it's assigned via login anyway)
    Make sure NAT is off on the router.
    Assign the 2nd address to the NIC. Make sure you have the right mask, 255.255.255.252

    Oh yeah, something else will have to do NAT if you're doing it that way.
    Why do you need a machine having a public address btw?
