I have 5 static IP's (that is, 66.136.7.249 through ...253).  No others
were given to me, unless the support person that I spoke with gave me poor
information.  (In the past, I had a static IP account with 5 or so IP
numbers *plus* another one (in a different subnet) for my connection
interface.  That setup, back in Kansas City with a different ISP, worked
nicely.)

I presently have 3 computers that need IP addresses.  (The two above, plus
one other.)

Potentially, I could use NAT, but when I tried to continue using my NAT
setup from (literally) yesterday, it failed.  (I was using NAT under my
dynamic IP account.)  I'm boggled that my NAT would just suddenly stop
working like that.
