You say that like it's a BAD thing!!! :)
of course....reading a manual is one thing, but getting first hand advice is
usually far superior.
Haven't any problems yet tho...just trying to get familiarized with it in
case I do...

Most people don't need more than one IP. With a fully capable router,
I'm not really sure anyone would need more than one. Might fall under
"terms of use" issues, though. Personally, I'd get rid of the extra
IPs and run with it until somebody told me to stop. Most ISP's
anymore dont really seem to care unless you start trying to host
extremely busy web sites.
Some games have to have certain ports open, for this you can either
put the game machine on the DMZ or use the port forwarding feature of
the router. I haven't tried hosting any races yet, nor have I tried
connecting from two private IP's to an Internet race server at the
same time, so I don't really know what N2002 requires here, but I am
pretty sure the router would be able to deal with it one way or the
other.
good luck,
Gerald

If you host, you'll have to open up the appropriate port and route it to the
hosting machine or others won't be able to join.
