Topic: There has to be a simple explanation ? Server .vs. Modem

[technically challenged]

Server : Mitel sme 6 - DHCP on IP 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0

Modem/Router: Origo ASr 8000 IP 10.0.0.2/255.0.0.0

I have set up the ASR 8000 to forward all port 80 traffic to 192.168.1.1 so you would think any web traffic should hit the server... WRONG!!

Even typing in my static IP address from outside the network wont hit the server.

While configuring the ASR8000 I come aross the LAN settings that are set to 10.0.0.2/255.0.0.0 If I try to change these to 192.168.1.1 the modem just hangs and wont reboot.

Do I really need to change the LAN ip address? or SHOULD traffic be hitting my server with the changes I have already made?

Any help would be greatly appreciated or soon there will be one very used and damaged modem up for grabs !

SME and LAN interface of the modem/router should be in the same subnet, but not on the same IP. Making both using 192.168.1.1 causing your modem hang.
Make the LAN interface of router 192.168.1.1 and SME 192.168.1.2
Change on SME default gateway to 192.168.1.1 and on the modem create the forwarding rule for port 80 (http) to 192.168.1.2
Rest of the LAN workstations should have addresses in the 192.168.1.3-254 range.
