2 wan ip's, router statements control incoming/outgoing

My network has cable modem -> Cisco router(supplied by FordSecure)-> dual wan router-> switches. Cable modem has 2 ip's.
Ford motor company is using primary ip for commo w/server through a host pc. Works great. How can I get the second ip into my dual wan router? Through a small switch between cable modem and cisco router to split? Furthermore if this is possible, can I dictate that, all internet traffic transpire through second ip and fomoco traffic go through primary ip? It is a netgear router (dual wan). Seem like it might possible.
Thanks for any suggestions.:\
 
Welcome to AT Forums.

Judging from your topology I think you have a misconception about what Dual WAN Router can do for you.

Win Client OS computer do not have control to split traffic into two Different channels.

This is What dual WAN can do and be used for.

Jack, thanks for the quick response. Sorry for the seemingly random questions. To clarify, The ip coming through the ford router (wan1) into my dual wan router is, at the moment supplying both internet and ford communications to my host pc. I ordered second ip. Now, I'll rephrase the question. How do I take both IP's from a single enet cable through ford router to dual wan router and also get it into other side of dual wan router to use second ip? With a switch? I think if i can accomplish that I can use routing statements and metric to dictate how host pc communicates w/ fomoco and how the rest of the network pc's communicate to internet. Once again, thanks for any suggestions.
 
To further clarify, I need to bypass the Ford router (wan1) with the second ip. Need to get second ip from modem straight to router.
 
Hi. Did you ever get a response to this that worked? Or did you figure out how to sepetate multiple IP addresses procided through one IP address? I have the same issue issue and would like to seperate the individual IP addresses provided through one IP address into multiple nerworks such that they can all be accessed externally via their WAN IP address. Any advice on this front would be great.
