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

I recommend you get back with the guys are work and let them help you out.

our it department is farmed out to another company. they really could care less. i do know a couple of the guys who are on site and will pester them if the suggestions provided don't work.

i will give rogers approach a try. i do have stand alone modems, stand alone routers (linksys x2) and a linksys switch hub. maybe i can pull this off with all this crap.

if nothing else, i will get a second internet account and run a modem for my wifes work computer and another for the rest of the house. so i am out $42/month, oh well.

i really do appreciate all the input. i will advise the outcome once the wife is done with work and i can disconnect everything!

after i do this, i am going to get a job with geek squad!

cheers,

scott
