To take a block of static IP's from my ISP and then assign an IP address to each computer connected to a router. So from the outside world each PC will have a different IP address. (thats my goal here)

Hope that made sense... I have tried to google this but I can't even confirm if it's possible in the first place let alone how to do it.

Router is the Netgear DG834GT

Thanks for any info
 
I don't know if your router can support it, but it is possible however you will probably have to use a business ISP and they'll charge you for each IP.
 
Is there something you're doing that really needs public IPs?

Bear in mind that 8 IPs from Be costs an extra £10 a month (£20 for 16), and you've got to be on Be Pro.
Zen'll give you a /29 for free on any account AFAIK.
 
Not sure, I think you are asking for a unique IP address to be seen from the outside world provided from your ISP ? Am I right ?

Worth it for VPN, Webservers etc, otherwise dont bother

Lets assume the extra IP addresses are obtainable.
Let me give you a scenario....

Lets say I get 4 IP's from an ISP

99.999.99.001
99.999.99.002
99.999.99.003
99.999.99.004

and there are 4 PC's each connected to the internet via wired router.
Each PC needs to have its own IP address, yes whois lookups would point all 4 PC's to the same ISP but each PC would have a unique IP address.

Right now any PC going through the router would all show as the same IP, I want to lock IP's to individual PC's.

Think of it like a shared house, but each person in the house and the subsequent PC would have it's own IP and as such that PC owner would have his own accountability for that IP address.

/end scenario
What do you think, is this possible?
 
What are you trying to set up?

Just thinking out loud here but could you just port forward to each computer, and instead of giving the outside world your individual IPs you give them your 1 IP and the port number.
 
The account holder would have responsibility for all the IPs, unless they were all with separate accounts with the ISP.
 
Rather than giving each PC a real-world IP address, look into multi-nat.

You're still using NAT, and internal PC's still have non-routable IP's (10.x, 192.x etc.) however, you setup a multinat table, so each IP will use a different IP to access the internet.

I just purchased a speedtouch 580 to do just that, it's more of a novelty/nicety for me, rather than a necessity .
