3 Public IP's...

[Kristi2k]

How do I assign 3 PC's a public IP? I have 3 IP's from Cox.

Turn off DHCP on your router, so its acting like a switch (or just use a switch instead) and then assign your 3 pcs static IPs, using the 3 IPs you got from COX. This is assuming you have 3 static Ips. If you are just given 3 dynamic ips, then just turn off DHCP on the router, leave it on for the pcs, and allow the modem\COX to assign the IPs.

How would this be done if this was in a corporate environment? Such as, an ISP assigns the company 3 public IP's.

1 IP would go to a webserver, another to email and the other for internet use.

Dynamic or static, and with or without NAT?

With NAT, you would create a pool encompassing the range or create three seperate entries. Then you would assign them to the outside for a specific internal PC's inside address.

with a real firewall like a Cisco PIX or something like that you can assign more then one IP Address to it so it will respone to any of the IP's you have.

Correct! Give Goose a cigar. NAT masks your internal networking...
To assign 3 pc/servers external IPs, simply enable their exposure in the firewall and assign them their static IPs. I am assuming you have a T1/DSU off smartjack. I hope you don't have 3 IPs on DSL or cable, that kinda underminds the technology.

you can just go, modem->switch then in the swtich connect the 2 servers and a router which has all other pcs behind it. piece of cake.

but then again if you only have 1 webserver and 1 email server then you only really need 1 ip address, and might not have to pay for the 3 ip addressess.

I would NEVER recommend having a production server directly connected to the internet. Hell, the same goes for everything besides a firewall.
