Im a noob too sorry but I would guess NAT does not apply in this case and you pass them through the router to each machine. Set each machine's tcp/ip to have a fixed ip also and no dhcp
The router will get its own IP from the ISP. Simply don't switch on NAT and assign your machines a public static IP instead. Or you could switch on the DHCP server in the router and do it that way.
Don't forget to use the correct subnet, in your case 255.255.255.248.
Your ISp should have technical info on which of the block you can use (probably 5 of the 8) for LAN PC's.
Setting up a router not to use NAT and to issue the static IP's to the lan is different in each case but will be covered in general and in particualr for that router somewhere onthe internet!
If you ignroe the static IP's the router will work as if it were not static on just one IP perfectly well and you can keep NAT, DHCP etc goidn on the router
