are you saying that you have 5 computers at home on a home network? if so make sure you have enabled that so that they share a folder etc on each...

if they are not all on the same network at home, and you mean 5 friends connected to the internet and you want to share files then use a program like Hamachi....which will get over the no static internet problem!!

If you have a static IP address at the point from which you are trying to connect to the peer to peer network, you could accomplish the task at hand by employing a VPN device on the remote peer to peer network and building a VPN from the peer to peer network to the point your connecting from. You can then connect to the addresses on the peer to peer network down the VPN tunnel.
There are some services on the internet, such as gotomypc.com that will let you make connecitons to remote computers in your scenario by utilizing software on the remote computer. I wouldn't personly buy off on this as I would be paranoid about the security implications involved but they do work.

You will need another router that connects all your PCs to the DSL gateway. This router can be setup as DHCP server which will auto assign a private IP to each PC or you can manually assign a static IP to each PC. You can use the following example on the PCs:
10.25.20.2 thru 254 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
10.25.20.2.1 will be your gateway, which is to the router
On the router, you can setup with the following ethernet IP:
10.25.20.2.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
On the WAN side, you can setup it to auto get IP from your ISP.
This will provide you with the NAT security. Feel free to change the IP addresses to whatever you want.

With a static IP your take care of continues to be an same no matter if you close up down the computing device. it really is continually your IP take care of and the subsequent time you verify in you receives that take care of. With a dynamic IP take care of you're assigned an IPp take care of once you verify in and as long as you stay on line you'll keep that take care of. in case you bypass offline & come again on later you receives a quite some IP take care of. One income of a dynamic take care of it prevents a hacker from looking you on a accepted foundation.

You don't need a static IP address. Every time you login to your ISP, you can use their stack of IP addresses to use on a temporary basis whenever you connect to the Internet. It will automatically assigned to you. When you logout, the IP address is returned to their queue for the next end-user to use and so on...
All you have to do is set up your host computer and you are on your way! I set up my home network of MAC's & PC's and assorted other peripherals in a similar fashion.
