How do I make 3 public IP's visible on a Netgear Prosafe firewall FVX538 v2?

I have a Netgear Prosafe firewall FVX538 v2. I have three public IP addresses. One address is assigned to WAN port 1 which has a MAC address. How do I make the other two public IP addresses visible to the Internet?

Yes, I have and that doesn't work. I can't ping the external IP from the Internet or bring up the web page of the internal LAN server from the Internet.

The last sentence under the section called: IP Address Requirements says; "The other addresses do not have to be contiguous, or on the same subnet, but your ISP must provide a routing path to them."

What does that last part mean; "but your ISP must provide a routing path to them."? I've talked to my ISP and they say they don't have to do anything. But I'm not so sure, this started with we upgraded from a DSL 12Mb connection to a 20Mb fiber connection and we are coming into a different router on their end.

You and I were both right. The ISP has to provide a forwarding path. In the last half-hour, they finally did that on one of their edge switches and that fixed the problem.
