WOT: need computer help...., need to assign an IP address to a particular computer.... Options

[scottb]

on my network.

i have a linksys BEFSR41 and have 2 IP addresses through comcast (at least that is what they tell me).

i need to do the following:

find out my IP addresses

assign one of these addresses to my wifes work computer, and let the rest of the house use the other.


i have messed around within the router but as i don't know my ip addresses. i do an ipconfig and only get one ip address.

so any suggestions oh wise ones? my wife an i both work for the same company and the security system is such that only one log in per ip address is allowed (hence the need for 2).

hope this is clear enough....

thanks,

scott

roger, you are correct that we use rsa keys to log in to the secure company server. however when we both try to log in, the first one can get through but the second is not recognized and is unable to connect. when i spoke with the it guru's they told me that multiple log ins through a single IP address are not allowed and they have the same problem when checking rsa key connections on their single dsl line.

my first thought was that i need 2 modems which i will do but the good people at comcast say if i use 2 modems then i have to pay for 2 internet accounts. whereas they were able to assign me a second IP address for $4 per month.

i am certain i am mixing acronyms and misusing jargon so i really appreciate the help. i know just enough to be dangerous. the final goal is to set up the home network in a way that will allow both the wife and i to work from home simultaneously.

thanks in advance.
