EDIT: I haven't tried the WCG200, but not supporting outside IP addresses means I need a bridge so I can use a hub AFTER the modem for a firewall and external device. Also, I've had trouble finding a device that supports multiple public IP addresses. On DSL I ran a ton of servers, ever since I moved to cable I've had to "jerry rig" external communications.
Exactly. If you're doing some kind of security testing, it makes sense to have machines fully exposed to the Internet (ie. no NAT). The best solution for that is to get a broadband modem and plug it into a standard IP router.
