2 WAN IP's, 1 ISP Connection

[mikejohnson]

Hopefully someone knows the configuration for this.

I have a Linksys 4 Port Cable/DSL Router, is it possible to set it up to allow me to use to 2 static WAN address separately? If not, any suggestions on how this can be accomplished? I'm currently using AT&T@Home coming off an RCA Cable Modem. Can I use a hub after the cable modem to grab one static address for one machine and then the Linksys Router to grab the 2nd WAN address for my other LAN? I'm attempting to set up two separate networks at home to allow me to do testing back and forth between IP addresses.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm I am assuming you have then a total of 3 IP addresses? 1 from @home, 2 from somewhere else?

I'm not familier enough with the Linksys but with the Ciscos NAT, you can set up a pool of IPs on both sides of the router. One side is your 2 "public" or outside IPs and then you can have a pool for the inside which is your own private network. You can either let NAT send the packets of you can setup static NAT maps to point the IPs to specific hosts. Again, on the Cisco there a command that lets you have a primary IP on the port and then a "secondary" IP on the same port. You tell the packets where to go by configuring some type of routing.. static, policy based or others.
