    Hello,

    This is no problem at all for cisco. You can instead of specifiyng IP, specify the interface name (or subinterface).

    We have recently posted about it. Please check this post:

    The only thing you need to change is this line:

    GatewayRouter(config)#ip nat inside source list 1 pool OUTSIDE

    to

    GatewayRouter(config)#ip nat inside source list 1 interface fastEthernet 0/0

    This is assuming that your public IP is assigned to F0/0 (via DHCP).

    In the furute you may find usefull also services like no-ip.com, dyndns.com, dnsalias.net in order to have dns hostname assigned. So you will have a chance to connect for example from work/school to your router using for example: youhome.dyndns.com
