Re: Port Forwarding

Here's a little diagram on my setup:

*SBS03 Server(2 NIC's)*
/ \
Switch DSL Modem
(Linksys 8 Port Gigabit)
|
Wireless Router
(Linksys 4 Port)
|
NEC Aspire-S
(Telephone Network)


Im thinking of changing the setup to look like this:

*SBS03 Server(2 NIC's)*
/ \
Switch DSL Modem
(Linksys 8 Port Gigabit)
| |
Wireless Router NEC Aspire-S
(Linksys 4 Port) (Telephone Network)


This way i dont have to go through the router. Might make it simpler but im
not too sure... Im completly lost right now... I dont even know where to
begin! I do know this though, i cant go out and buy something else for the
network.. I have to use what i have now to make it work.

My first problem is i dont know how to assign a specific port on the router
or switch to a static IP. I know how to port forward through the wireless
router, but not the switch.. I know i have to use the server to do it, but im
not sure where. I found one place where i could do routing but it was only
IP's, nothing to do with ports.

If anybody who's attempting to help me with this needs any more info, just
ask i'll be here for awhile.. I gotta get this done ASAP! =(

The phone company that my business works for has there box's setup next to my
server. They plugged in a LAN cable from one of their boxes to my router and
asked me to set the IP to static, and give them an ip address (x.x.x.65) and
set port forwarding to send everything that comes in from my IP on port 8000
to that static IP address... I tried to do this from my router, but couldnt
get it to work... Any ideas?

The server has the internet coming straight into 1 ethernet port on the PC.
The other ethernet port connects directly to my 8 port linksys switch, and
one of the ports on the switch connects to a 4 port linksys wireless router,
which is where they plugged in there cable.
You need a little switch that your external nic and their phone switch
can plug in to. If you have some basic router as part of your internet
then you need to port forward 8000 to x.x.x.65

Is the phone switch on a private network or on one of the public
external ips?

Ipconfig/all from your server might help.

Actually I would use an access point and not a router. Some routers let
you turn on bridge mode.
