Having Troubles with LinkSYS BEFW11S4 on Mac OS X

Ok. I am running a home network on my LinkSYS BEFW11s4 router. It is an older model running 802.11b technology @ 2.4GHz.

I have 2 computers hooked up to it. I have 1 PC (which I have no trouble with) and I Have a MAC running OS 10.3.7. I just added a 2nd MAC on the network last night and I don't understand what's going on. Here is my problem.

What's happening is I am running two MAC's on my router. They are set up on a DHCP setting. One mac is running at 192.168.1.100 and the second one is set at 192.168.1.102.

The problem is they have different WAN addresses, but when they are connected to the internet, they both have the same IP Address.

============
(1st) WAN: 192.168.1.100
IP: 64.173.171.180

(2nd) WAN: 192.168.1.102
IP: 64.173.171.180
============

I need to know how to get these two computers to run on seperate IP addresses. Both Mac's are using DHCP so the router selects what your WAN address will be.

Below are some settings I have in place on my router. Please help if you can.

Thanks..
Matt

    That IP address is assigned by your Internet Provider to your router all 3 machines will have the same WAN that's the point of having a router. The router will then passes the information back and forth to each machine. What's the problem with having the same WAN?
