Sure. They just need to have different IP addresses.

Just the opposite, they must all be unique. You should consider getting a book on IP network configuration. It's not that hard, but it is important that it is done currently.

I just Googled "IP networking basics" and got several hits on free tutorials. Start there.

The PLC just needs to be able to 'see' the SMTP server or relay, wired or wireless isn't really relevant. Since you are wired to the PC and the PC is connected to the Internet, you might consider an SMTP relay program.

No more than it needs to be to do the job.  Do you need it done?

Besides, those are sucky.  Use the nice, professional ones.

Lots of ideas, and no, you shouldn't give up.

What is the PLC's IP config (address, netmask, and gateway) and what is the configuration of your router. The PLC can't access anything outside your local network unless this is correct.
