Ray,
Before i enter to this company, this server is already working for almost a year now. Our Main head of our system was the one who designed our network. He changed the network configuration by adding a SME server where all of my coleagues uses public ip address and there are all behind this particular SME server.
Suppossedley, we really don't need to configure all our computers to public ip address coz we are provided by a private ip address, 192.168.xx.xx, as what you have stated. The only main reason most of us uses public ip coz we often download and upload files to our clients. It will be easy for us to access to our clients coz we don't need to connect VPN. We are currently using "PC Anywhere" application where you can access PC remotely.
Regarding the pinging of the Ip address 203.167.85.99, we disable the ICMP rules.
I understand everything u've stated. It is just that it won't really correspond on our current configuration.
I tried also the new post but still it is the same behavior on what we have been discussing since in the beginning. It needs still an internal ip address which we don't actually using it at this moment. Well anyway, we will be discussing this week regrading our whole network configuration and we will try evaluate it.
Thanks to everything...
Nald
