Yes, you are right, but with NTL and DSL the IP's are only given to PC's directly attached to the Modem (via. a Hub in this instance to get 5 PC's connected [1 Router Mac Address and 4 Computers with Mac Addresses])

If I want 40 PC's attached I need to put 36 of then onto the Router, 4 onto the Hub, QED.

I asked NTL if I could use a Netgear FSV338 Firewall but NTL said No, they work on Mac Addresses only, and this would still be just one Mac Address.

So apart from the 'routing' between the Router and the Hub for 192.168.1.x addresses I'm almost there.

I did try a loop-back by adding an additlonal RJ45 from the 4 Port Hub to the Router and it worked, for 2 minutes, then it all went bonkers!!

How can I get the PC's on the router to see the PC's on the hub internally on 192.168.1.x They're all connect by wires, shouldn't be a problem ?.....
