Hope this topic isn't off base for this forum. I have moved and have only one static avail to me. I am looking for someone who has had luck running a forum inside of an internet connection network configuration. the following is what I will have to work with:
Puter A: static ip assigned and configured as the ICS machine.
Puter B: Hosts web site and forum.
Problem: DNS server points to static at Puter A, not the internal 192. add of Puter B, the web/forum server machine
My Thinking: Perhaps telling IIS to listen for the ***.com hits on any avail nic. I just dont know if ICS broadcasts the request to internal IP's. Does anyone here know a solution to this configuration?
I am not excited about the use of a router since this is a low traffic site and don't want the investment ... also I have owned 100ish dollar routers b4 and find the configuration options limiting.
Thank you very much for any thoughts or help.
Scott

Ideally you have to use a Router, either software or hardware based.
You don't mention what operating systems your using, both W2K boxes ? |

both have 2k server.
I will look into redirecting. Good thought. I am not sure that I am able to redirect by domain name but shall find out soon. |

you can redirect the request in IIS to another machine. |

You can forward service ports to a particular internal IP with ICS. Open the ICS propertly pages and you'll find a place to set port forwarding.

Here is a useful piece of info  . I had seen those properties before, but never had gotten to the redirection page. Nice one Doug, thx. |

| Neither had I, but then I avoid using ICS too and just use an old Pentium 233 machine as a dedicated router & firewall running Smoothwall GPL. |

| I had the pleasure (?) of using W2K ICS for quite a while on a dialup. ICS actually worked very well. |

| Well I still use ICS at home (from a XP Pro machine), but actually I never needed to allow outside access to any services on my local network, so I'd never looked into those settings with much attention... |

you just need to set up a costum route setting in the ICS to the appropriate comp on requests for port 80
on WinXP there's even a template! |

to give you more details, you should mark the web server option in the settings of ICS, and put the server addy in the appropriate box, good luck.
you can't redirect using domain, only with port |

sounds like you guys are going down a solution path that would work well :)
My last big purchase was a home router... the features in these things are amazing... holy cow...
Basicaly it takes your IP and routes requests through it's own firewall to where you want... then the resulting server handles things and sends them back to the router and it's all blind to the end user... and you can handle things how you want... virtualy plug and play!

supports up to 200 and something comuters on your network. |
