Re: Dynamic IP with Windows SBS 2008?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Great suggestion Leythos; I'll have to check costs as I don't want to end paying more for peripherals than for the computing machinery. But that gave an idea: the SBS will be its own forest, serving pages, emails and files, acting as if it were just another machine in the network :D Thanks!

Thanks for your response, Leythos.

As a matter of fact, I do want to host my own site, as I have done for the
last decade (first with Windows 98, then with Windows XP, and more recently
with Windows Vista). As old machines tend to pile up around here, my home
network has grown a little larger and I decided it was about time to use a
small server.

And then you would have a firewall between your DSL device and your
local network, with the DSL device in "Bridge" mode, so that your
firewall appliance/NAT router is assigned a public IP and then you
create rules to map to the internal devices.

About disbling DHCP from my ADSL modem-router and use the one Windows SBS
2008 provide is precisely what I don't want. My ISP provider assigns me the
dynamic IP addresses all my junk uses and would be seriously upset if I try
to do that (even if I know I can't). But Windows SBS 2008 WANTS to handle
all the DHCP stuff and won't allow me to do it my way, which means to
install a dynamic DNS client to keep my domain pointing to the right IP. And
of course I have a couple of firewalls that prevent unauthorized traffic
from all ports, except 25, 80 & 110, which are the ones I use to host my own
mail server, web server and pop server, all dependant of my dynamic IP
(which, by the way, work great).

Then you should get a NAT router and let your DSL device issue an IP to
the NAT router (or firewall) and then use Port Forwarding INBOUND
through the router/firewall to the static IP's on your network.

That gives you DHCP on the DSL and it's isolated from the SBS network by
means of the NAT router.

The routers and firewalls you can use will most always have DDNS
functions built into them - no need for a "client" on a computer to be
installed at all.

Now, the problem at hand is that the SBS shouldn't be the DHCP server... I
just want it to behave like the rest of the computers in the workgroup, each
doing its own work.

And the "Work" of SBS is to be the DHCP server.
