Title: Forward ip to local computer
Post by: gxs on November 05, 2008, 07:36:36 PM

Hy
I would like to forward an ip to my local computer but i don't know how to do it.

Here is an example:
89.212.17.18 to 192.168.0.10

Thanks for your help

It is done from the following screen. Of course it is on a port by port (or range of ports) basis.

Are you saying something like DMZ?? With the Servers WAN IP address handed directly to another machine.

If you do this how will people navigate to your server.

Well not exactly like DMZ. I would just like to forward all data from a speciffic ip to a computer on a network.

gxs,

I am sorry to be so confused but I just don't understand what you are trying to accomplish.....

Port forwarding will forward all connections (data?) to a specific port or range of ports from the external IP address to the internal IP address.

DMZ for all practical purposes makes the internal IP address become the external address. (any connection attempt (data?) on the external IP address will be made on the Internal address.)

If you are using your SME as a router and an internal fileserver only, DMZ would conceivably be possible with some fairly extensive surgery.

If SME is used for webserver or e-mail on the WWW the WAN IP address would no longer route to SME but would go to the DMZ'ed machine and would make the SME no longer available from the web.

Well i want to set an ipv6 adress on my computer because i don't want to tinker with the server. But i need to connect to just that one computer (something to do with NAT).

I didn't know that it can't be done so i'm using another metod now.
