Can I Retain Anonymity Using the BFSR41 Linksys Router

[BrainErupt]

I am connected to the internet through the @Home service and have a static IP which I have assigned to the router to allow connectivity for the 3 computers behind the firewall. One of the computer is used for an FTP with Win2000, second is used for Internet and Games on Win98, and the third is used for learning new OS's currently running Linux. I have shared drives on all 3 computers, and each is setup with its own unique static IP. I am using the forwarding feature of the router/hub to give people access to either the FTP or the other shared drives. Here is my problem, because of the need to attach the static info from my ISP to the router I find myself losing any sort of anonymity to the outside world. Even if i use anonymous proxies on the different machines behind my firewall, if I run a ProxyJudge against my connection, I'm still seen as the static assigned info that is locked into my router. Is there a program or setting I can use that will allow me to retain connectivity for all 3 computers, and still be able to surf anonymously??? Do I need another piece of hardware to accomplish this need??? I've tried the DMZ setting, but the info assigned to the router still allows people to see who I am. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx in advance.

the DMZ function opens you up to the internet, you wanna disable that i think(i have) if you assign the router with your static ip then you used DCHP you sould get ip's that arnt seen by the net...

check this http://www.grc.com then click on probe my ports, this should show your static ip from your isp and then tell you if you have any ports open, it's quite good.

BE,
You can pay $$$ and get a hw or sw firewall on a dedicated box that does stateful packet inspection (which would make it more secure), but running a service that expects incoming connections probably requires you to identify yourself. How else could your clients find you?
