Tedob: Could you please tell that to SBC, Sprint, MCI etc..... With all the T1's I ever got through them with or without address blocks they never provided me with a router...... I feel used and abused now.....

I would suggest that if he is leasing a block of 8 IP's then this is a business venture and I would look at the WatchGuard SOHO or something similar as a gateway device and use that to NAT into internal devices......

I'm starting to wonder..... I wonder if he needs the multiple public IP's to provide multiple public servers or whether he is unaware that a single IP is all that is required in most cases....... It will save on the cost of the leased addresses. Atomiser??????
