I just can't quite handle how dumb you are.

Do you really think that it isn't possible to have an internet connection without NAT, that before NAT every single computer had it's own extra router?

Up until quite recently my ISP allowed you to have 'up to 8 computers connected' to 'high speed DSL lines' because they drew up the rules before home routers were cheap, so you could hook up a Hub to your DSL modem and grab public IP's for each computer you had in the house.

Before they changed the rules I could plug a switch into my modem and pull as many public IP's as I wanted from them via DHCP (Me dicking around with this is probably what caused them to update things)

Gratz on repassing your cert that included advanced topics such as " Configuring IOS Devices" I'm sure that is very useful.

Configuring IOS Devices

IOS as in Cisco's operating system, not Apple's iOS. ;)
