Re: XP as a Router.

| Hello,
|
| I would like to use a machine with XP as a router since i dont have a router
| for the time beeing.
|
| The situation is this: I have one pc with xp SP2 that has an dsl modem
| atatched to it and connected to the internet. In my network all computers
| have static ip's and the computer with the modem is the gateway for all
| other computers. (i have ics active in the computer with xp so tha the other
| computers in the network can acces the internet). I dont want to use IIS but
| instead i want to redirect calls on port 80 to another computer inside the
| network, as well other ports to other computers in the network. Basicaly
| what i want is that my machine with XP (the one that does the ICS) work as a
| router - forwarding ports to the network. Notice that the XP firewall is
| active for both nic (ethernet and dsl modem).
|
| Thanks.

Get a cable/DSL Router such as the Linksys BEFSR41. If your DSL uses PPPoE it will make the
connection. The devices are easy to use, allowing share the one WAN connection with up to
253 LAN nodes, come with 4 x 10/100Mb/s Ethernet Switched ports, DHCP server, and will act
as a simplistic FireWall.
The cost is low and the energy consumption is low. Well worth its use.
And yes, it can port-forward TCP port 80 to a specified LAN node.
