Public Ip address from a PPOE Connection

[lifesgood]

Hi All,

I'm looking for some help with the following...
What i want to do is assign a Public Ip address to a device, we'll say a PC for the purposes of the example from a PPPoE connection. What i have is 2 Static Public Ip address's, one starting with a 213.*.*.* and the other 83.*.*.*, so i want the router to take one and a PC to take the other. Could anyone advise what kind of dsl router i should use or any advise in general.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

sorry one more thing, port fowarding does not work, so this is not an option, i want the PC to have a public static IP not a private local IP address

Before you totally disregard port forwarding - what is actually the problem you are having with it?

By directly assigning a static public address to your PC you lose the security advantages offered by private addressing & NAT (i think...)

Anyway - I have never implemented this kind of scenario, but can you not just assign the IP to the PC and then set the router as it's default gateway?

Are the IP addresses from the same provider?

What exactly is it that you a trying to do?

Oh but just as a general point you should be able to use any DSL router I would have thought

Basically what i'm trying to get to work is a VOIP Card on a Telephone System. I know that you must have a public static IP address on the card.
The Ip's are from the same providor....

I see!

Well in that case you should just be able to assign one IP to the PC, and then the other to the Router, pointing the PC to the router as the default gateway...

Not done it with 2 static public addresses before...but dont see why it should be different.
