| [*nix hosting] Setting up Web Server
Hi,
I am struggling trying to get a fixed Ip which has been assigned by my ISP 60.240.XXX.XXX to my Server IP 10.1.XXX.XXX
I have a brand new Belkin Modem and a Belkin 5 port switch.
Should I change the IP address of the modem up to 60.240.XXX.XXX
Is there a configuration example some where ?
My ISP has provided:
WAN:60.240.XXX.XXX
Sub:255.0.0.0
Gateway: 202.7.XXX.XXX
DNS: prime: 203.XXX.XXX.XX5
DNS 2 : 203.XXX.XXX.XX6
Any guidance will be gratefully received
Cheers

Just a few side-questions to think about:
Does your ISP allow web-servers? (if not they might close your account)
Are you going to be able to keep that thing secure ? |

| Hi,
Thanks for the prompting, Yes my ISP is OK with it.
With regard the security I am using SME server software and it has a firewall as does my modem. Whether I need more security or not will be something for the future

Hi WGM,
Thanks for the link, I have checked it out. The info is very good, all of which I had already done. Clearly it's something I just don't have set correctly here.
Cheers

if your modem has a firewall, you may not be able to see your server (it may do NAT)..... just a thought for you.
Also if you only have one static IP it is going to be difficult without doing fowarding.
