Re: basic question about assigning ip address

[Warning: second question attached :-) ]

Thanks for all the help and advice - sorry, I could have described the
I used to have a Linksys WRT54GX4, which was great until it stopped
working, and I had to spend hours on the phone with customer service
reps dumber than me, and the RMA replacement arrived DOA. The Linksys
had the ability to function as a switch (wrong word?) - that is, it
would pass traffic straight through to two machines on my internal
network, both of which had static, public IP addresses - one, the
server, connected via CAT5, and the other, a Windows laptop, connected
wirelessly.

If your machines had static, PUBLIC

Because of the customer-services & quality-control issues Linksys was
having, I tried switching to a Zyxel X-550 wireless router.
Unfortunately it does not seem to have the ability to cope properly with
public IP addresses on my internal network.

So I thought that if it were an simple matter to configure my Linux
server in the way I've described, it would make the (temporary) process
of fiddling around with various bits of networking equipment easier.

So, all that being said, do you have any technical recommendations?
Hope I have adequately described the problem...

Thanks -
