I have been thinking about getting a few more public IP addresses from my ISP because I need to be able to forward the same ports to a few more PCs on my network for certain online applications I want to run on multiple PCs that will only work with specific ports opened. I also want to still be able to NAT a few PCs local IP addresses to one of the public IP addresses I will have? How do I do this with a Linksys BEFSR81 8 port switched router? Can this router handle multiple public IP addresses while still being able to use NAT for some PCs? If Linksys routers have no way of being able to do handle multiple public IP addresses, I was looking into getting an SMC Networks router which I read it can handle multiple public IPs and still be able to use NAT. But is SMC Networks a reliable and good quality router brand?
