DSL 7mbps w/5 static ips. (What router do I need)

[ScAndal]

Here is the situation. We have a 7mbps DSL line and a Cisco 675 with qwest DSL.

Here is what I need to accomplish:

I need to have 2 subnets (1. internal, 2. external). I also need to establish
some of the boxes with static IP's.

I have worked with routers such as Linksys, but I don't think these can handle
multiple external IP's can they?

Any Ideas on what kind of router I would need?

Ok.... So I guess the first step is to set up your Cisco 675 as a gateway and shut off NAT and DHCP.

Then, you can set up a Freesco box with two nics in it. 1 nic that will go to a hub or switch which has the 675 connected to it also and the other nic will go to seperate hub or switch. The IP count so far, One for 675 and One for Freesco Box.

That will leave you with 3 statics left that can be assigned to systems.

I think that answers your question. Anything behind the Freesco box will be hidden unless you do some port forwarding. But anthing not behind it will be open to the public.

You have a pretty beefy DSL line alrite and your best bet would be to have a single router that can handle all the IPs and do the internal routing. Cisco has these types of routers, but you can look at other pro routers from other companies that will do the same thing as well (check 3com, etc).

Going with an OS to do the routing works great, but I'd rather not have a dedicated computer doing something that is needed for 24/7 work. Having a router do it is what they are supposed to do, no? I have a single IP and a single router that handles it all for me, but I'm a home user, not a business class DSL user.

I have a friend who uses just one router for his 16 IP addresses and it basically NATs out to his local network while switching his IP as needed.
