I have several PCs setup on my network. Is there any way to get them to have different external IP Addresses?

Answer 1

Only if you actually have multiple external addresses.

If you have broadband and a single static or dynamic IP address, you're not going to be able to accomplish it. If you have multiple static ip addresses, then you can configure them in your setup so that each computer uses one of those addresses.

Answer 2

The only way you can get different external IP addresses for each PC is to have them each on their own network. You can change the internal IP address but I don't know why you would want to have different external IPs it's just too much to handle (for me anyways).

Answer 3

First of all, you need a pool of addresses provided by your ISP that you're allowed to use. Then you'll need to setup NAT on your router. You'll need a decent router e.g. a Cisco router to NAT to more than one address. Once you've set up the pool of addresses you can either do a static NAT so a single internal ip is associated with a single external ip or you can use dynamic NAT which lets the router automatically choose an unused external address for the internal host. If you need some documentation I can point you in the right direction.

"he only way you can get different external IP addresses for each PC is to have them each on their own network."


um....no. That's not true. A high-end firewall should be capable to allow you to create virtual IPs on it so that different LAN computers will show different public IPS. As has already been stated, you'll need a pool of Public IPs to do this. But, the clients do NOT have to be on different networks. So, if you had 100 PCs, your recommendation to do this would be to install 100 different networks???

Answer 5

all you need is a manual configuration of I.P. address, better to check the LAN settings and go to the properties of your network card, on that point you can manuall setup the I.P.configuration and othe settings internally.
