Re: NTL Modem - Hub - Router / Direct
Getting my head around this...

You have a service with 5 available fixed IPs, a hub/switch feeding 4 (fixed IP) systems and a router, and the remaining systems inside the router boundary.

To the systems inside the router boundary, those outside are the same as the Internet - simplest answer may be for them to have two network cards, if possible, one outward facing (fixed IP) and one inward facing (on the router) - may need some path metric tweaks, to make sure things go in the right direction.

Depending on the protocols, some things may be NAT-able.

If you were really clever with Linux stuff, maybe you could make a multi-address forwading Linux router
