Yes only one IP address, and the main computer does have to stay on. The internet and the internet service provider only see your main ip address... Their is a wonderful person who has site that will give you lots of reason to be concerned with hacker and other people who have access to your computer through your modem. Not the least of these is msft. grc.com Let him probe your ports and test your sheilds. and his main page is grc.com he has recommended some great free software one on which is the fire wall i use.Zone Alarm and a neat program for keeping up with post for different people called Vault, really cool. anyway back to NAT, having only one ip does not make your main computer any safer, but it does make the other machine safe because if a hacker does get in, he does not see the files on the other machine. I think. You can still have two monitors on each computer, but each computer of course operates complete independently of each other. More in a minute.
