Well thanks guy's! oddly enough as i described in the original post every
time i ask this question i get different opinions! Actually i have learned
alot from this conversation, at the moment i have nat and dhcp enabled on
both and its working, the 3 pc's get different address's depending upon
which is booted first from the router. I think as the modem is going to the
wan in on the router that it cant really matter that its issuing dhcp as
there is only the one address as there is only one receiving device (i may
put a static IP for this route).
I'm in UK and my isp issues a changing address ie every time i connect its
different. I do not run a server or want to host any services (in the future
i may want to set up a vpn to work - but this is months away). The modem
does offer a bridged option, and has a dhcp server and nat system.
