Dear Robert,
 
Can you check the Basic Setup guid of Mikrotik Router, V 2.6 and V 2.7 for NATing (masquerading) configuration on http://www.mikrotik.com/Documentation/manual_2.6/Basic/UserGuide.pdf   and 
URL http://www.wireless.lv/Documentation/manual_2.7/Basic/Basic.html  for a good understanding and then You will find that  the Static Network Address Translation (NAT) configuration.
 
Thanx and All the best,
 
Coko TRACY

I just bought a Mikrotik RouterOS. Can someone use to
this router give me the basic setup to supply my
clients with public IPs. So far i have been using
NAT(masqurading) to supply only local IPs
