Re: been given 8 static IP addresses
Why do you need 8, surely 1 is enough?

Of those 8 not all of them will be useable, cannot remember how it works as its not a strong point of mine but I think 5 are useable I think but don't quote me.

Just found what I was after:

An 8 IP block provides 6 usable IP addresses (1 for the router and 5 for servers, PC, etc.)
