Re: Port Forwarding



That's what it sounds like to me too Kevin.

Mike... Here's what I believe you need to do.

I'm assuming that they connected the cable from the NEC Aspire-S to one of
the ports on the Linksys wireless router. I'm also assuming you don't know
the MAC address of the Aspire to create a DHCP Reservation, so you need to
create a DHCP exclusion for the static IP assigned to the NEC Aspire device
(x.x.x.65). Then port forward any traffic coming in from your DSL modem on
port 8000 to the IP address of the Aspire device. (I'm further assuming
that the DHCP service on the Linksys router has been disabled). I'm also
assuming this SBS 2003 Standard and not Premium (with ISA installed).


------------------------------------------

DHCP Exclusion (SBS server).



Start | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | DHCP | DHCP | <servername> |
Scope | (rt. click) Address Pool | New Exclusion Range



The Start and Stop IP address will be the same (x.x.x.65). After you set
this you may want to stop and then start the DHCP service on the SBS server
(not sure if this is required).



------------------------------------------

Port Forward.



It looks like you have a DSL modem that connects directly to the external
NIC on your SBS server. I assume you've used CEICW to set up your server
configuration.



Start | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Routing and Remote Access |
<servername> (local) | IP Routing | NAT/Basic Firewall | In the right pane,
rt. click your external NIC | Properties | Services and Ports | Add |



Description: NEC VOIP

Public Interface: On this Interface

Protocol: TCP

Incoming Port: 8000

Private Address: x.x.x.65

Outgoing Port: 8000

OK

OK

Close RRAS

MAybe I'm off base, but it sounds to me that they have already assigned IP
address x.x.x.65 to their equipment. if so, they just want to make sure
that you have reserved .65 from DHCP on your SBS box so that DHCP does not
accidentally hand out .65 to a new workstation.

Yes its a private IP... But i dont know how to create a static IP for a
specific port on my Switch, or if its even possible =(

Mike,

Is x.x.x.65 a public or private IP address? i.e., if it's a private IP
address, it would be in the same IP address range as your SBS network
(default is 192.168.16.x, so the IP your talking about would be
192.168.16.65).

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 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.


Internet router (adsl, T1 or
cable)

12 port internal switch cheap 5 port switch

Wireless Router
for laptop use

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