Thanks for the ideas, but unfortunately I can't do it this way (I don't think). As I understand it, both the downstream router (or switch) and the PCs connected to it need to be on the same network, which means that I would need a number of IP addresses available.

In this case, the upstream router (the one connected to the internet) can let me have only ONE IP address, which is why I have been using a second router to run my local network.

Does this suggest any other ways round the problem?
