Static IP address, multiple machines.

InfRecursion · #1 20th March 2006, 03:28 PM

I have a network consisting of multiple computers connected via 8 port switch and only one static IP address. Within my modem (Westell DSL) I have IP passthrough enabled for my Fedora Core 4 box which assigns it the static IP address.

Problem is, I also like gaming, which is where my Windows XP box comes in. In order to host games, I have to redo the IP passthrough to point to my Windows box... acquire the static IP address. In doing so, I take my web server offline.

I attempted port forwarding, but that doesn't seem to work... perhaps I did it wrong. Does anyone have any other suggestions that I can try?

have 2 static IP's. I dunno what you need, but in my Linsys router I can port forward to anything I want. So I have my Linux server with 80 / 443 for webserver forwarded, and to my other (my brother's) i have the ports for Diablo II + battle.net forwarded so he can play games

Firestarter is a nice (graphical) tool to config NAT connnection sharing like this.

Code:

yum install firestarter
