Re: [PLUG] networking question
|
I am not sure what you are doing but I can describe what I do here. I have
two static IP's over DSL. The line out of the DSL modem goes to a 4 way
switch. I use 2 of the 4 ports. They go to indiviual Buffalo WAN/LAN
routers. Each is assigned a (real) internet address supplied by my
provider. On the lan side both are assigned 192.168.0.0 subnets. One port
of each is connected together. Only one is setup for DHCP. The other is
disabled.
This gives me a single subnet on the lan side with access to two REAL
internet IP addresses. You could add more routers if you need more
addresses. They are cheap (and good!) about $40 each. Even have wireless
but I turn that off and do not connect the antenna.
Now you can setup port forwarding to whatever LAN connected machine you
want. Both could go to the same machine, same port or different as
desired. Machines on the lan can select the IP they want to use, assuming
they are static IP'ed by selecting the default GW of the router to the IP
address.
This makes for a very flexible setup. If you have a server you can
instantly transfer port to a new server by just editing a router table. No
need to change anything on the computers. It has worked well for me.
