Seems you need a business account to get more than a single static IP.
Really simple - my firewall doesn't allow UPnP, so easiest solution for me, is set each up on seperate firewalled external IP, forwarding the required ports.... but I only have one static IP, and my homebrew mailserver/webserver runs on that already.... would be a shame to take them offline/reconfigure everything everytime I wanted to play online.
CS said I'd need a business account, but as I'm on FTTC, I don't see any business FTTC offering, it'd be a big step back.
Any ways round this, any suggestions?

Why don't you just forward the required ports from the single external IP (i.e. PAT)? I appreciate that UPNP may well be quicker/easier but manual port fowarding isn't that difficult and ought only be a one-off exercise anyway. I am assuming of course that these games can use the same port(s) all the time (it'd be a bizarre design if they didn't/couldn't).

Thanks to both, feedback appreciated.
MJN - PAT doesn't work, as the ports are already in use.
