RE: DSL routers question

Well if i presume i know what your talking about, the DSL router (really a
gateway) would perform NAT for you, and usually a firewall too. I said it is
really a gateway because a router uses the same protocol on both sides of
the network. Though this device is a gateway as it uses to differing
protocols (usually) being PPPoE and TCP/IP.

Presuming its one of those d-link,netgear type of DSL gateways, you would
just set the gateway device a static IP and the machines, set up to use the
gateway as a gateway :)
