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?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
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.
Is the phone switch on a private network or on one of the public external ips?
Ipconfig/all from your server might help.
Internet router (adsl, T1 or cable)

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