Hi, I have the above stated router and am having some problems. My ISP is comcast, which only gives dynamic ip addresses. Since I play on Battle.net with my roomates a lot I need to set up the router as a switch/hub in order to have 3 ips going out(3 networked computers). I have 4 ips from comcast, but no matter what I do, the router will only assign 2 ips at any one time. If I reset the modem and boot up any two comp. they work fine. But, the third gets a 169 ip. I have a XP, ME, and 98 on the network. I have tried DHCP enabled and disabled. Enable is what gave me the 2 ip restriction, with it disabled I can only get one comp. up. The router is set to router mode instead of gateway. The cable modem is hooked into the 1st port of the router. I just don't know how to get the last ip. Any help would be appreciated.

Should work. Ask your ISP where the other two IPs are?

well, since they are dynamic there is no point asking since they change every 7 days.
All three computers will not come up...I am about to shoot something lol.
