Q: I have a router, Netgear MR814v2
I want the two of the computers connected to the allocation of a public IP address. I do not want them to connect to share. There are a few places that we play poker, and she can not create an account because I already have an account from that IP would address.
I just a hub, but who knows where a road is packed, and the other one is fried I .
ve done this before with a hub and it worked great, Im hoping I can get it to work with a router and wireless router well.

Re:Ok this is what I did.
Straight cable from Cable Modem to Port 1 on Router
Straight cable from Computer to Port 2 on router
Straight cable from Port 3 to WAN port on router.
DHCP assignment on router, set ON. Boot up both computers. Change DHCP setting on router to off. Wireless client maintains its assigned IP by router, Wired computer release and renew IP, and it is assigned an external IP.
Whew, that was a pain in the ass.

Re:The Cable connecting the Modem to a regular port should be the reverse of what is used with the WAN port. I.e. if Modem to WAN is straight then use Crossover.
The general Rules of Cable connection are:
NIC to NIC – Crossover Cable. (Computer directly to second computer).
NIC to Hub/Switch – Straight Cable. (Computer to Hub/Switch).
NIC to Uplink – Crossover Cable. (Computer to Uplink on a HUB/Switch).
Hub/Switch (regular) to Hub/Switch (regular) – Crossover Cable.
Hub/Switch (regular) to Hub/Switch Uplink – Straight Cable.
Hub/Switch Uplink to Hub/Switch Uplink – Crossover Cable.
Cable/DSL Router WAN Side is an Uplink jack.

Re:Thanks Jack. I tried that and it works for the computer that is plugged in via ethernet cable, but its not working for the Wireless computer.
oops didnt notice the link *(blind today)* checking that out.
Ok checked it out. It seems to be dealing with two routers.
Would it work if I:
1) Plugged Computer A into the Router Port 2
2) Plugged the internet connection from the cable modem into port 3
3) Plugged a crossover cable from the Router port (not numbered) into port 4 to supply the wireless card/router with an internet connection

Re:Well use your router as a Switch.
Plug the Interent to one regulat port.
Plug each computer to the other ports.
Log to the Router set it to default and disable DHCP.
Now you have a Hub/Switch.
This link is for Wireless but it will explain the Router Switch principle.

The reason you are not geting an ip address is because you disabled DHCP. Are you looking to have your router give you your public Ip? Right now your router is set up to do NAT, this means that it will have the public Ip address and give you a private one to connect to the internet(i.e. 192.xxx.xxx.xxx). If you want to have your Public Ip address what you need to do is hook your modem up to the lan port and it will give you your public Ip to the computer. Also disable DHCP and routing in the router. The reason the router does NAT is so that you can connect more than one computer to the Internet while having only one Ip address. If all you want to do is host some kind of server or file share ect. where your computer needs to have something connect to it from the Internet, all you need to do is enable on the router port fowarding or virtual server. This will make a connection that would normaly go to the router and get dropped get forwarded to your computer. Please explain why you want to do this. Also can you give what brand and model your router is.

I want 2 public IP addresses so my wife and I can connect to servers that only allow one connection per/IP address.
With a hub this works easily, but my hub is fried, so Im trying to do it with a router.

Ok I've tried to do that
But I cant find out where to do it. I tried disabling my router assigning IP addresses via DHCP, but then I wasnt able to connect to the router via web, or the internet.That's because once you do that, you need to set your computer to communicate with the router on that specific IP address. It's in the Control Panel –>Network Connections dialog box on your computer.
Ok sorry but I didnt follow you there.
I disabled DHCP on the router, and when I rebooted the computer the computer was assigned a "fake" IP address (not a real external one).
See what I bolded above. Which IP address are you talking about?
I really appreciate the help.

Re:Yes. Instead of setting it up as a DHCP server, set it up to dole out IP addresses manually. Not sure what brand you have, but it shold be in the router's web control panel somewhere.
