OK, for me I would set up a firewall / dhcp server like IPCop but for my friend who is less computer literate than me I thought that a hardware NAT / dhcp server might be better.
Anyone know of a supplier of these in NZ?

I just (eventually) got a response from Paradise. They issue a static IP address so I suppose I will have to install a router/firewall for my friend.

Does anyone on list know if the S5100i cable modem connected via Paradise/Telstra Clear can use dhcp? Yes I have already Googled for the info which suggests it can but it seems that Paradise set his 3 computers (connected one at a time at the moment) with static addresses. Paradise's help desk is not even open yet. TIA - Rob
