Re: Basics, please!
that about sums it up. if you wanted to go with only a single static, you could have your provider drop you down to their single static packeage, set the cayman for bridge mode, and hang a linksys or other SOHO router with VPN passthru capability behind the cayman, then hook all machines to that router. this will allow all machines to share a single ip, yet still do what you want without being wide open to the net.
or you could purchase the VPN option for the cayman, but this is really only good for allowing the cayman to be the VPN server.

| Just to complicate things, I want to be able to log into the computers from my remote location using something like PC Anywhere.
How does that affect my situation?
For instance, I have two groups of computers set up on the Cayman routers but I can't ping from any of the computers to any of the other ones. Even though they are on the same router or even though they have static IP addresses, I can't ping them. I can ping the routers but not the computers behind them. Obviously, I'm missing something very fundamental.
Thanks.
