which product do I need?

[helloworld22]

Hi guys,

I'm looking to get some networking help and for someone to tell me which cisco product can do what I need. I'm a little overwhelmed and new to networking.

I need a product that will allow me to:

Use multiple IP addresses (which I am renting through my ISP)  in such a way that each computer on my network has its own public ip.

Have some computers operating under the routers ip, and others working under their own public ip.

Keep in mind I'm a home user (actually a desperate gamer that has moved in with a few mates that are sick of not being able to play at the same time due to having the same ip).

Any thoughts and contributions are welcome! Thanks in advance

You need to purchase a router that will support NAT.  I won't be able to recommend what Cisco appliance because I don't know if it's appropriate for me to ask your budget.  However, you can browse the Linksys product catalog.

I'm happy to spend ~400 USD

How does your network look like?  Your ISP has a modem and you just need something to do NAT?  Do you need wireless?  How many switch ports are needed (excluding the ISP modem)?
