Hello. my ISP has given me 5 IP's.. how can i set this up to be shared on lan? i currently am using one of the IPs using my router, but is there a way u could use the other 4 IPs? and how.. thanks...
 
If you have to ask how to do this, then you probably don't need to do it. If everything works right now using private IP's, then leave it alone. What is it you hope to gain by using static IP's for you workstations?
 
well, coz i have problem connecting with mIRC if more than 4 stations are connected already to same servers..
 
Ah... presumably the servers set a limit for the number of connections from a single IP to keep people from doing stupid things.

But I think you're pretty much SOL if you have more than 4 machines anyway, because you don't have enough IP's to cover all your machines. Even if you were to assign public IP's to workstations (which is not a great idea), you can't have some of your workstations use private addresses and some of them use public addresses. At least not without a whole lot of reconfiguring and probably cabling/hardware changes. It would definitely be a non-trivial task. Read up a bit on IP routing and how NAT works and you can see why.
