Look into an X-Router from Macsense, very cheap and easy way to go.

Thanks, David.

Yes! This is a cheap way to go as long as they don't charge too much for the
second IP address.

It's an additional $6/mo. This is on top of the $40 service for the modem
and one IP address.

Thanks, Dave...

If it is like my @home service, they give you a new "computer name" which
you type in the identification tab in the control panel network.  This takes
care of all the IP addresses for them.  I have not tried this:  I was simply
told this by the tech.

in Network Neighborhood (right click), on the  Identification tab, the
computer (or hostname/dnsname) name merely allows the DHCP server to
recognize you dynamically when you have "Obtain IP address automatically" in
TCP/IP properties (also ensure under Wins Configuration tab that the "Use
DHCP Server for WINS Resolution" is checked)  So put in your hostname and
check those two properties.  DNS should be disabled and Gateway should be
removed if you previously had it setup statically.  After reboot, you can
run the command "winipcfg" from the RUN dialog and confirm the settings have
taken effect for that adapter.  Note that if you are not online (say the
DHCP server is down), then you may wish to disable WINS RESOLUTION, and fill
in those TCP/IP properties and try to connect statically.  Good Luck!
