netviper13 0 Posted August 21, 2001 Hello, I am building a LAN using a cable connection and a Linksys Router. I was wondering if I can use multiple IP addresses or if I have to share one connection. A quick reply is appreciated, thanks. Share this post Link to post
Dirty Harry 0 Posted August 21, 2001 Well, I have a LAN and a Linksys router (BEFSR series). As far as I know there is no way to have several IP's coming in to the Linksys (say you are thinking of combining 2 cables, for example). You conf it by setting it to either obtaining your IP automatically or you can manually enter your IP. Inside the LAN you of course have several IP's, at least one for each computer. The linksys works such that it is your IP to the world outside, and the PC's on the LAN send/receive their data through it. It can also serve as your DHCP server, in which case it assigns all the machines on the LAN an IP address as needed. Hope this helped, might have miusunderstood your question.
