How to use multiple IP's with one router

[enak]

I have the BEF81SR. I also have 5 static IP's but have only used one. How can I setup other machines that are behind the one router to use the other IP's?

Or do I need more routers? and if so how would I set them up with my DSL?

TIA

This might not be possible with a simple router. Routers have varying levels of complexity. With complexity may come a higher cost and also a different approach. Try looking at the user manual for the newer Firewall Router. If you do not like my post feel free to point out your opinion or my errors.

I think a router has to be able to set up static routing to route between many WAN IP addresses and different LAN IP ADDRESSES. It will be as if you are connected to 5 different Wans. Then depending on the WAN you route it to a different LAN IP Address. This will work as long as you dont surpass 5 computers. If you get past 5 computers you may need an additional router or a switch or a proxy server.
This would mean you can route to a static location and that you are not using DHCP on the router. I think you would have to add a managed switch or a router to a route with multiple nodes on it. This is where you might be able to use Network masks to create subnets. If you do not like my post feel free to point out your opinion or my errors.
