Ok if any network gurus have any input on how I should set up my home network to work as I need to will be greatly appreciated.
Here's the problem. I've got 3 computers at home, 2 are mine, one is my girlfriend's. We both submit galleries but are independant in business. So I just got a second IP address from my ISP for her, so that we stop being considered as the same person when submitting galleries.
Now, the network was previously simple and easy i.e all 3 computers connected to a linksys router, never had a single setting to play with and everything worked fine.
My question is, can the router do the job of grabbing both IP addresses from my ISP? Can it do the job a hub usually does?
I'd rather not go for a hub since I read that hubs are no security protection like routers are..
My ISP tells me the IP addresses are not static, however they look pretty static to me, they change maybe once a month but that's it.
I'm pretty confused on how to set this network up and good topics on the subject are hard to find...
